Hello,

Yes I was on working on this.

[1] sounds ok to me. Somehow I still like to think that an embedded XRD is
just another kind of UDI, like a URI, XRI, etc; but I guess that's an
implementation detail.

The UDI Resolution Spec (http://www.azigo.com/udi/udi-resolution.html) says
that an optional output of UDI Resolution is one or more "Authentication
Material Types" and shows some example XRDs. The corresponding Higgins
component (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Org.eclipse.higgins.idas.udi) implements
this.

And I created this page a while ago:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Authentication_Materials. I think we should drop [3]
and link to that page instead. It lists identifiers for Authentication
Material Types that correspond to the actual classes that we currently have
in IdAS. Currently those identifiers are not a superset of the m-card
authentication identifiers, because strictly speaking they really are for
"IdAS authentication", not "r-card authentication".

The "implied" type (which we used to call "SSO") could be anything. The idea
was that whoever is resolving the UDI (e.g. a Selector) must already know
what Authentication Materials to use (e.g. the username/password with which
the Selector is signed in to the I-Card-Service).

Regarding serialization of Authentication Materials ([4]), hmm yes I was
working on this too, but I'm afraid it isn't done yet. There has been
discussion whether this serialization should be centrally defined or left to
the applications that use it (IDS / XDI CP).
