Abstract
An identity provider issues information cards in which the credential type and/or the credential data is not specified at the time of issuance. A card selector installs the information cards and either prompts a user for the credential at the time of installation or afterwards. The card selector updates the credential type, the credential data, and/or authentication materials associated with an information card after the information card has been installed, and informs the identity provider about the credential type, credential data, and authentication materials before the information card is used.
