Re: [higgins-dev] Proposed updates to Higgins Architecture diagram per A

[Michael McIntosh <mikemci@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul,

We are trying to figure out a few things wrt attributes for "personal" 
i-Cards.
In "managed" mode, the STS pulls attribute values for claims from a 
Context via Context Provider/IdAS.
In "personal" mode, it is unclear where the attibute (and master key) 
values are - are they in the i-Card Store?
It seems as if there is a need for the iCard Store for personal i-Cards to 
be accessible via Context Provider/IdAS.
If so the lines aren't drawn to reflect that.

Thanks,
Mike
