Abstract

A computer implemented method may include identifying a base information card stored on a client, determining whether an overlay information card is to be applied to the identified base information card, and selecting the overlay information card. The method may also include generating a final information card by applying the selected overlay information card to the identified base information card.

Claims (27)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

identifying a base information card stored on a client;

determining whether an overlay information card is to be applied to the identified base information card; and

responsive to a determination that the overlay information card is to be applied to the base information card, selecting the overlay information card and generating a final information card, wherein the generating comprises applying the selected overlay information card to the identified base information card, wherein the identified base information card contains information pertaining to at least one overlay information card that may be applied to the base information card.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a security policy from a relying party, wherein one or both of the identifying and selecting is based at least in part on the security policy.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a security token based at least in part on the final information card; and

transmitting the generated security token to a relying party.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising storing the final information card.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

selecting another overlay information card, wherein the generating further comprises applying the other overlay information card to the identified base information card.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , further comprising storing the final information card.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the applying comprises combining an overlay claim in the overlay information card with at least one claim stored in the identified base information card.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the applying comprises replacing a claim value of a claim stored in the identified base information card with a claim value of a claim stored in the overlay information card.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the applying comprises, responsive to a claim removal instruction in the overlay information card, removing at least one claim stored in the identified base information card.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the identified base information card is a designated master base information card that can be used in connection with multiple identity providers.

11. One or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform the computer-implemented method of claim 1 .

12. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving from a user an identification of a base information card storing a plurality of claims, wherein each of the plurality of claims comprises a claim type and a claim value;

receiving from the user a selection of an overlay information card storing an overlay claim, wherein the overlay claim comprises a claim type and a claim value; and

generating a final information card, wherein the generating comprises applying the overlay information card to the identified base information card.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , further comprising presenting to the user a plurality of information cards from which the user may identify the base information card.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , further comprising presenting to the user a plurality of icons, each of which corresponds to one of another plurality of information cards from which the user may select the overlay information card.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , further comprising presenting to the user a plurality of information cards from which the user may select the overlay information card.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , further comprising receiving from the user an indication that the identified base information card is a master base information card that can be used in connection with multiple identity providers.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , further comprising receiving from the user a selection of another overlay information card, wherein the generating further comprises applying the other overlay information card to the base information card.

18. One or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform the computer-implemented method of claim 12 .
