Using multiple digital identification documents to control information disclosure

A system for managing digital identification documents, the system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors configured to obtain instructions from the memory that cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
• providing a first user interface, via a first mobile device of an individual, whereby the individual can cause a first digital identification document of a plurality of digital identification documents identifying the individual to be created according to preferences of the identified individual by selecting for inclusion in a first set of attributes about the identified individual a first subset of available attributes among a plurality of available attributes about the identified individual maintained in one or more databases and by causing the first mobile device of the identified individual to transmit the selection of the first subset of available attributes for inclusion in the first set of attributes to a computer system of a representative of an identification authority;
• receiving, from the computer system of the representative of the identification authority, on the first mobile device of the identified individual, the plurality of digital identification documents, each of the plurality of digital identification documents including a differing plurality of attributes about the identified individual, wherein the plurality of digital identification documents includes the first digital identification document that was created by the computer system of the representative of the identification authority in response to the receipt of the transmission of the selection of the first subset of available attributes for inclusion in the first set of attributes, wherein the first digital identification document was created by adding into the first digital identification document the selected first subset of attributes that were obtained from the one or more databases;
• providing a second user interface, via the first mobile device of the identified individual, whereby the identified individual can make a selection of a digital identification document of the plurality of digital identification documents, wherein the selected digital identification document includes a digital signature;
• and
• transmitting, based on the first selection, the selected digital identification document from the first mobile device of the identified individual to a first challenger's device of a first challenger, whereby the first challenger is able to determine the validity of the selected digital identification document using the first challenger's device, based on the first challenger's device performing the steps of:
• receiving the selected digital identification document;
• analyzing the digital signature included with the selected digital identification document;
• confirming, based on the analysis of the digital signature, that the selected digital identification document is valid;
• and
• triggering, in response to the confirmation that the selected digital identification document is valid, a notification to the first challenger indicating the confirmed validity.

• and
• transmitting, based on the first selection, the selected digital identification document from the first mobile device of the identified individual to a first challenger's device of a first challenger, whereby the first challenger is able to determine the validity of the selected digital identification document using the first challenger's device, based on the first challenger's device performing the steps of:
• receiving the selected digital identification document;
• detecting the steganographic indicators included with the selected digital identification document;
• and
• presenting, by combining the detected steganographic indicators, a visually coherent image to the challenger, wherein the visual coherence is indicative of the validity of the selected digital identification document.
