It is very likely there will be a new industry of “identity brokers and
providers.” Will it become subject to power laws and vendor
concentration? Higgins, an open source software framework for identity,
offers the promise of a neutral infrastructure for interoperability and
openness. But can it succeed? What is it? What are its merits? Its
weaknesses? How might new identity systems be used or abused by
governments, corporations and large organizations through national
identity cards and GUIDs (General Universal Identifiers)?
