1. An apparatus comprising:
- a stand-alone computer, outside of a domain defined by a plurality of clients, the stand-alone computer including;
a lifecycle manager for managing digital ID lifecycles for application programs, andan abstraction layer portion for abstracting digital IDs associated with the application programs as abstracted digital IDs, wherein trusted data is not included with the abstracted digital IDs provided from the application programs, and the abstraction layer portion providing common storage, retrieval, and management of the abstracted digital IDs associated with the application programs through a digital identity management system (DIMS) and a common Application Programming Interface (API) layer; and
the lifecycle manager and the abstraction layer portion on the stand-alone computer forming at least a part of a trust model.

11. A Digital Identity Management System (DIMS) that is at least partially contained within a stand-alone computer, outside of a domain defined by a plurality of clients, the DIMS performing operations comprising:
-
managing digital ID lifecycles for application programs running within the stand-alone computer; and abstracting digital identities (IDs) associated with the application programs, wherein trusted data is not included with the abstracted digital IDs provided from the application programs, for multiple types of digital IDs through a common security token service (STS) and application programming interface (API) layer. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
