If the user then updates identity attribute data for a given service provider site, the identity attribute data for the site is automatically updated, once again without requiring the user to navigate to the site and re-enter the update directly. The method enables the user to ensure that his or her personal data stored at the service provider sites is up-to-date and synchronized. | 12-31-2009 |
