Method and system for obfuscating senstive personal data in processes requiring personal identification in unregulated platforms

A computer-implemented system linking an unregulated digital wallet having a digital address on an unregulated trading platform to a regulated digital wallet on a regulated trading platform and wherein the regulated digital wallet is associated with a known client, the computer-implemented system comprising:

• a first server configured to verify an identity of a prospective account holder seeking to establish a first regulated digital wallet by authenticating a plurality of instances of personal data submitted by the prospective account holder;
• a certificate code component configured to issue, as a hash, a certificate for each instance of personal data and further configured to associate each certificate in a private ledger database of the regulated trading platform with at least a document type and the first regulated digital wallet to establish a cryptocurrency account for the prospective account holder;
• a communications device running an app providing an interface to operational system intelligence of the regulated trading platform, the app configured to use the plurality of instances of personal data to identify at least link to a first unregulated digital wallet having a first digital address therefor;
• a linkage code component responsive to the link, the linkage code component configured automatically to interrogate the first unregulated digital wallet to recover data entries in the first unregulated wallet reflecting at least one of transactional entries, recorded wallet interactions, NFTs, general personal data and uses of cryptocurrency;
• system intelligence, response to recovered data entries, configured to identify searchable links to third-party databases that are independent of the unregulated trading platform and also independent of the regulated trading platform,
• an OSINT code component configured to scrape said third-party databases for personal data or further links related to operation of the first unregulated digital wallet, and further configured to return scraped data to generate a profile of a registrant of the first unregulated digital wallet;
• system intelligence, responsive to said generated profile, configured to parse said return scraped data to generate a list of different document types each with a respective associated document;
• system intelligence configured to identify any commonality between said list of different document types and the document type, within the private ledger database, linked to the first regulated digital wallet;
• system intelligence configured to evaluate an honesty score associated with a content match identified as arising between the respective associated document and a verified document associated with the first regulated digital wallet;
• system intelligence configured to determine if the honesty score exceeds a threshold;
• and
• the certificate code component configured, in response to each honesty score determined to exceed the threshold, to mint a non-transferable non-fungible token “NFT” for storage in at least the first unregulated digital wallet, thereby linking the first unregulated digital wallet to the first regulated digital wallet.

The computer-implemented system of claim further comprising system intelligence configured:

• to determine a lack of commonality and, as a consequence of said determined lack of commonality, further configured:
• to generate at least one random challenge from selected content in said returned scraped data, and
• to display the at least one random challenge on an app interface;
• to monitor a response to the at least one random challenge and assessing correctness of the response;
• to determine correlation between the response and the selected content of the random challenge and, in response to determined correlation, to generate a second hash for the selected content;
• to associate the second hash with at least one of the first regulated digital wallet and the first unregulated digital wallet;
• and
• to use the second hash to verify a common ownership of the first regulated digital wallet and the first unregulated digital wallet.

An unregulated trading system comprising:

• a block chain server having a public certificate module arranged selectively to write NFTs into specifically identified unregulated accounts;
• and
• a public ledger database coupled to the block chain server and responsive to the public certificate module, wherein the public ledger database contains a plurality of unregulated accounts each having at least a public wallet address for a user account and wherein at least some of the public wallet addresses further have stored therewith:
• a document type identifier with a related minted unique non-transferable NFT linked to an externally generated certificate hash and where each non-transferable NFT is obtained via writing of a smart contract and each non-transferable NFT is a permanent record for a description of the document type;
• and
• a private wallet link to a regulated account of a regulated trading platform, the private link related directly to the minted non-transferable NFT;
• and wherein
• each non-transferable NFT cannot (a) be moved from its unregulated wallet to which it was written, and (b) in any way changed by any interaction other than an interaction through the block chain server that directly involves the regulated account that is linked to the public wallet address specified for that unregulated account.
