Decentralized identity methods and systems

A computing system for performing cryptographically-verifiable property transfer:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to run an application configured to:
• obtain, from a camera of a user device, an image of an item of property of a testator-user;
• obtain a unique identifier corresponding to the item of property of the testator-user by processing the image of the item of property using a trained machine learning model to determine the unique identifier;
• receive, via a graphical user interface (GUI) of the application, an assignment of the item of property to at least one beneficiary;
• in response to receiving the assignment via the GUI:
• create a property record including the unique identifier and an indication of the at least one beneficiary;
• determine that a property database has received a forwarded property record;
• generate a cryptographic signature corresponding to the property record using a private key of the user associated with a public key of the user;
• encrypt the property record with the generated signature;
• and
• store the property record and the corresponding cryptographic signature in an electronic database.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, that when executed, cause a computer to run an application configured to:

• obtain, from a camera of a user device, an image of an item of property of a testator-user;
• obtain a unique identifier corresponding to the item of property of the testator-user by processing the image of the item of property using a trained machine learning model to determine the unique identifier;
• receive, via a graphical user interface (GUI) of the application, an assignment of the item of property to at least one beneficiary;
• in response to receiving the assignment via the GUI:
• create a property record including the unique identifier and an indication of the at least one beneficiary;
• generate a cryptographic signature corresponding to the property record using a private key of the user associated with a public key of the user;
• encrypt the property record with the generated signature;
• and
• store the property record and the corresponding cryptographic signature in an electronic database.
