The Information Card Foundation strongly encourages developers! If what you need is not here, let us know right now.

Ask a Developer Question:

 

In this section, you will find:

 

  • Developer information  (libraries, platforms, services, etc.) for RELYING PARTIES

(e.g.) developers who have a website or a web-accessible service and want to offer information card login ("ClickIn")

 

  • Developer information  (libraries, platforms, services, etc.) for IDENTITY PROVIDERS:

(e.g.) developers who want to offer a managed card or provide trusted verified claims for users to use when logging in ("clicking in") to  a web-accessible service and want to offer information card login / clickin.

Code Bounty!  

There is useful work to be done in every development environment.  ICF will act as a clearing house for development tool requests and  connections to  companies and individuals providing  components and reference components. We will be encouraging specific interoperability tools to bring information cards to your environment.  Also tools, plug-ins, and adapters for various popular databases, CRM systems, and other existing systems.
 

Standards for Information Cards

As stated elsewhere, the Information Card Foundation is not a standards body.  It makes little sense for this organization to duplicate the infrastructure of an international standards body, when organizations like OASIS already perform this valuable function.  The OASIS Identity Metasystem Interoperability TC is now in operation, and intends to put forth several documents written by the founders of the ICF.  Specific details and links to supporting documents may be found here.
