I feel that parts of it target exactly the same sector (signatures with existing tokens) and direction and mindset and resulting functionality that we are using within Estonia and this makes a perfect collaboration target for us. This is similar to what we currently target with "proprietary" (but open source) plugins, just need to work on harmonizing the API to get comparable real life functionality.

Hi Martin,

Although the details are quite sketchy I have tried to "decipher" the documentation. These are my findings:

It *seems* that relying party code has direct API access (which *not* the case with plugins).

That is, it appears that *users* would need to decide (per site) if a site's *client code* is to be trusted or not.
IMO, issuers like banks would probably not accept such an arrangement.

OTOH, I may have gotten it all wrong due to the limited documentation :-)

Cheers,
Anders
