IBM and Higgins
,----[ Quote ]
| The code that can understand the policy, generate a token and consume a
| token will all be open source and available as libraries through the
| Higgins process once the IP review process is complete. The commercial
| side will come when IBM's identity management products like Tivoli
| add support for creating and managing the x509 certificates and
| tokens that provide identity mixer claims.

| Why would for-profit companies, like IBM and Novell, offer a service
| for free? In part to block Microsoft, which recently developed its
| own ID management system called CardSpace. Originally name
| "InfoCard," Microsoft's new ID system gives users a common ID
| that will work across any Windows application. Eventually,
| Microsoft hopes to expand beyond Windows applications into
| adoption by banks, credit cards and online retailers. CardSpace
| comes including in Vista, Microsoft's new operating system.
