Layered protection and validation of identity data delivered online via multiple intermediate clients

At least one computer-readable medium encoded with instructions which, when executed by a processor, performs a method including:

• receiving a selection from a customer identifying a final zipped package to be unpacked;
• unpacking the final zipped package to obtain a common package and a digital signature file signed by an entity generating identity data requested by the customer;
• verifying the digital signature in the digital signature file;
• unpacking the common package to obtain a plurality of outer packages and an encrypted symmetric key;
• decrypting the symmetric key with a private key associated with the customer;
• and
• decrypting each of the outer packages with the symmetric key to obtain a plurality of identity data units.
