Abstract
Methods and systems for creating a digital association are provided. The method includes obtaining a first user-generated item comprising identifiable features of a first user and a second user. The method also includes obtaining a second user-generated item comprising the identifiable features of the first user and the second user. The method also includes cross-confirming that the first and second user-generated items are valid to verify the digital association.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for creating a digital association, comprising:
- obtaining a first user-generated item generated through a first certified device, the first user-generated item comprising identifiable features of a first user and a second user, the second user different from the first user, and the first certified device digitally signing the first-user generated item to generate a first secure digital identity;
- obtaining a second user-generated item generated through a second certified device different from the first certified device, the second user-generated item comprising the identifiable features of the first user and the second user, the second certified device digitally signing the second user-generated item to generate a second secure digital identity;
- cross-confirming, through the first certified device and the second certified device, that the first user-generated item and the second user-generated item are valid to verify the digital association of the first user and the second user;
- and
- uploading the first secure digital identity and the second secure digital identity to a public ledger comprising a database,
- wherein a link is created to associate the first user-generated item with the second user-generated item.
A system for creating a digital association, comprising:
- a memory storing sequences of instructions;
- and
- a computer processor configured to execute the sequences of instructions which, when executed, causes the computer processor to perform:
- obtaining a first user-generated item generated through a first certified device, the first user-generated item comprising identifiable features of a first user and a second user, the second user different from the first user, and the first certified device digitally signing the first user-generated item to generate a first secure digital identity;
- obtaining a second user-generated item generated through a second certified device different from the first certified device, the second user-generated item comprising the identifiable features of the first user and the second user, the second certified device digitally signing the second user-generated item to generate a second secure digital identity;
- cross-confirming, through the first certified device and the second certified device, that the first user-generated item and the second user-generated item are valid to verify the digital association of the first user and the second user;
- and
- uploading the first secure digital identity and the second secure digital identity to a public ledger comprising a database,
- wherein a link is created to associate the first user-generated item with the second user-generated item.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium is provided including instructions that, when executed by a computer processor, cause the computer processor to perform a method for creating a digital association, the method comprising:
- obtaining a first user-generated item generated through a first certified device, the first user-generated item comprising identifiable features of a first user and a second user, the second user different from the first user, and the first certified device digitally signing the first user-generated item to generate a first secure digital identity;
- obtaining a second user-generated item generated through a second certified device different from the first certified device, the second user-generated item comprising the identifiable features of the first user and the second user, the second certified device digitally signing the second user-generated item to generate a second secure digital identity;
- cross-confirming, through the first certified device and the second certified device, that the first user-generated item and the second user-generated item are valid to verify the digital association of a first user and a second user;
- and
- uploading the first secure digital identity and the second secure digital identity to a public ledger comprising a database,
- wherein a link is created to associate the first user-generated item with the second user-generated item.
