Architecture
This page describes the architecture of the core components planned for Higgins 1.0
Higgins Clients
Client apps and services that use these core components are expected to include:
- Higgins Browser Extension
- "Relying Party" websites that will consume identity data provided by Higgins-based services. These would use at least the "RP Enablement" component mentioned below
- Eclipse RCP apps can leverage the ISS Client UI app for authentication
- Enterprise apps that could potentially rely on one or more of: I-Card Selector Service, ISS Web UI, ISS Client UI, and Identity Attribute Service
