DigitalMe Description

DigitalMe - Set of components that enable users and applications to interact with InfoCard-compatible web sites and services DigitalMe is a set of components that enable users and applications to interact with InfoCard-compatible web sites and services. In a typical use case, a user wants to complete some type of transaction with a relying party site. This usually requires the exchange of identity information such as the user's given name, street address, surname, and e-mail address.By using an InfoCard-aware web browser (such as Firefox with the DigitalMe extension installed), a user can easily provide the required information by selecting an appropriate InfoCard from the set of cards that they own.Here are some key features of "DigitalMe":· Relying party sites do not need to store sensitive identity information.· Users are put in control of their own identity information and can choose who they trust to store their sensitive data.· Rather than updating dozens of accounts whenever some piece of identity information changes (such as a phone number), users can update their information at one (or a small number) of IDP sites.· Identity providers can implement strict identity verification policies. This allows relying parties to have a high degree of confidence that the identity information being used in a transaction is complete and accurate.· Users can interact with sites without ever disclosing their identity. For example, an STS can issue a token asserting that a user's age is greater than some required value without disclosing anything else about the user. Because of the trust relationship the relying party has with the STS, it can be sure that that the assertion is true.NOTE: Please note that you will need to install both the Firefox add-on and the DigitalMe application.
