US 2008/0178271 A1 · PROVISIONING OF DIGITAL IDENTITY REPRESENTATIONS

Abstract

A system and method for provisioning digital identity representations (“DIRs”) uses various techniques and structures to ease administration, increase accuracy, and decrease inconsistencies of a digital-identity provisioning system. A system is provided using a common identity data store for both DIR issuance and identity token issuance, decreasing synchronization issues. Various methods are provided for creating new DIRs, notifying principals of available DIRs, and approving issuance of new DIRs.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system for provisioning a digital identity representation for a principal, comprising:

a digital identity representation generation system for generating the digital identity representation;
an identity provider for generating an identity token in response to receiving an identity-token request, wherein the identity-token request is generated in response to selection of the digital identity representation;
and
an identity data store, operatively connected to the identity provider and to the digital identity representation generation system;
wherein the digital identity representation generation system accesses the identity data store in generating the digital identity representation and the identity provider accesses the identity data store in generating the identity token.
