1. An apparatus to manage information cards, comprising:
- a computer;
storage on the computer;
at least one information card stored in the storage on the computer;
metadata associated with the at least one information card that is stored in the storage on the computer, the metadata specified by a user;
a card selector operative to identify the at least one information card as satisfying a security policy; and
a filter selector to allow the user to select a user-specified filter for the at least one information card, the user-specified filter using the metadata associated with the at least one information card;
wherein the filter selector reduces the number of information cards that satisfy the security policy displayed to the user;
wherein the card selector is operative to identify the at least one information card as satisfying both the security policy and the user-specified filter;
wherein metadata associated to the information card includes metadata associating the information card with at least one of a plurality of identifiers of a plurality of containers.

Abstract
The user can associate metadata with information cards. The metadata can include, among other possibilities, string names, icons, user policies, containers, and hierarchies. The metadata is stored by the computer system. The metadata can then be used to filter the set of information cards that can satisfy a security policy from a relying party.
