Abstract
Systems and methods for managing digital identities. In some embodiments, a method is provided, comprising acts of: receiving a request to validate at least one statement about a user; identifying, from the request, a reference to a distributed ledger, the reference comprising an identifier for the distributed ledger and an identifier for a transaction recorded on the distributed ledger; identifying, based at least in part on the identifier for the distributed ledger, at least one node of a network of nodes managing the distributed ledger; and communicating with the at least one node to validate the at least one statement about the user.
Claims24
-24. (canceled)
A computer-implemented method, comprising acts of:
- receiving at least one attestation for at least one attribute of a first entity, wherein the at least one attestation comprises a cryptographic proof for the at least one attribute of the first entity;
- determining whether the cryptographic proof in the at least one attestation is a valid proof of a purported value of the at least one attribute of the first entity;
- determining whether the at least one attestation is electronically signed by a second entity;
- and
- determining whether the at least one attestation has been revoked by the second entity.
A system comprising:
- at least one computer processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium having encoded thereon instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one computer processor to:
- receive at least one attestation for at least one attribute of a first entity, wherein the at least one attestation comprises a cryptographic proof for the at least one attribute of the first entity;
- determine whether the cryptographic proof in the at least one attestation is a valid proof of a purported value of the at least one attribute of the first entity;
- determine whether the at least one attestation is electronically signed by a second entity;
- and
- determine whether the at least one attestation has been revoked by the second entity.
At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium having encoded thereon instructions which, when executed, cause at least one computer processor to perform acts of:
- receiving at least one attestation for at least one attribute of a first entity, wherein the at least one attestation comprises a cryptographic proof for the at least one attribute of the first entity;
- determining whether the cryptographic proof in the at least one attestation is a valid proof of a purported value of the at least one attribute of the first entity;
- determining whether the at least one attestation is electronically signed by a second entity;
- and
- determining whether the at least one attestation has been revoked by the second entity.
