Method and system for identification verification

A method for verifying a person's identity, the method comprising:

• receiving a registration request from a first electronic device, the registration request including one or more items of identifying information associated with a presumed identity of a person and one or more items of captured metadata indicative of a timing of user inputs entered to the first electronic device by the person during a session associated with the registration request;
• querying one or more trusted databases based on the one or more items of identifying information to obtain one or more background data items associated with the presumed identity of the person;
• receiving, from a biometric reader, one or more biometric data items captured from the person during the session;
• storing a data record associating the one or more items of identifying information, the one or more items of captured metadata, the one or more background data items, and the one or more biometric data items;
• calculating a hash as a function of the one or more items of identifying information, the one or more items of captured metadata, the one or more background data items, and the one or more biometric data items;
• storing the hash in a block of a blockchain;
• deriving a score from the one or more items of captured metadata and the one or more background data items;
• and
• generating an embeddable digital badge based on the score.

A system for verifying a person's identity, the system comprising:

• a first electronic device for generating a registration request, the registration request including one or more items of identifying information associated with a presumed identity of a person and one or more items of captured metadata indicative of a timing of user inputs entered to the first electronic device by the person during a session associated with the registration request;
• a server for querying one or more trusted databases based on the one or more items of identifying information to obtain one or more background data items associated with the presumed identity of the person;
• and
• a biometric reader for generating one or more biometric data items captured from the person during the session;
• wherein the server receives the registration request and the one or more biometric data items, stores a data record associating the one or more items of identifying information, the one or more items of captured metadata, the one or more background data items, and the one or more biometric data items, calculates a hash as a function of the one or more items of identifying information, the one or more items of captured metadata, the one or more background data items, and the one or more biometric data items, stores the hash in a block of a blockchain, derives a score from the one or more items of captured metadata and the one or more background data items, and generates an embeddable digital badge based on the score.
