[higgins-dev] Status of CardSpace i-card providers

Sergey Lyakhov (slyakhov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) is developing two i-card providers (see rows B and C here [1]) to provide CardSpace interoperability. The first is called “CMIP” (see [2]) for short. The second is called "CPIP" (see [3]) for short.

 

CMIP

----

- basic code will be checked in on 4/4

 

CPIP

---

- basic code will be checked in on 4/4

- due to recent "update-related" changes in IdAS metadata can no longer be updated so any update operations do not currently work

 

CMIP and CPIP

-------------

- both share some common code for .crds card backup/restore

- to do this 256 bit crypto is required

- either the IBM or SUN JVMs require export licenses to be acquired and installed to do 256 bit crypto. (128 bit is the legal limit)

- we are in the process of removing a dependency on http://www.bouncycastle.org library as this cannot be redistributed from Eclipse.
