Attribute information providing system

A computer program product, comprising a computer readable storage device having computer readable program code stored therein, said program code configured to be executed by a processor of a computer to implement a method for providing attribute data, said method comprising:

• said processor receiving a request from a user device via a network for a virtual ID token relating to attribute information pertaining to a subscriber associated with the user device;
• responsive to the request for the virtual ID token, said processor reading a data record from a database, said data record comprising L attributes of the subscriber, L being at least 2;
• said processor providing the data record to the user device via the network;
• said processor receiving, from the user device via the network, a selection of M attributes of the L attributes, M being less than L;
• said processor generating a virtual record including the M attributes selected from the data record, said virtual record comprising a virtual ID (VID) for identifying the virtual record;
• said processor storing the generated virtual record in the database;
• and
• said processor providing the virtual ID token to the user device via the network, wherein the virtual ID token comprises the VID, wherein an attribute information providing server performs said receiving the request for the virtual ID token, said reading the data record from the database, said providing the data record to the user device, said receiving the selection of M attributes, said generating the virtual record, said storing the generated virtual record in the database, and said providing the virtual ID token to the user device.
