Abstract
A method may include forwarding, by a mobile device, a request for identification information associated with a user of the mobile device. The method may also include receiving, from an identification provider, the identification information, and displaying, by the mobile device, at least some of the identification information.
Claims22
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon sequences of instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- receive, from a user of a mobile device, information identifying a type of identification information that the user would like to receive;
- obtain first coded information identifying an entity at which the user's identification information is to be verified;
- forward, by the mobile device, a request for identification information associated with the user of the mobile device, wherein the request identifies the type of identification information that the user would like to receive and includes the first coded information;
- receive, from an identification provider, the identification information and transaction information, wherein the transaction information comprises a timestamp indicating when the request for identification information was received by the identification provider or was fulfilled by the identification provider and second coded information to be compared with the first coded information by the entity at which the user's identification is to be verified;
- and
- display, by the mobile device, the identification information, the second coded information and the timestamp for verification by the entity, wherein the verification includes comparing the first coded information to the second coded information.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- storing identification information for a plurality of users;
- receiving, from a first mobile device, a request for identification information associated with a user of the first mobile device, wherein the request identifies a type of identification information that the user would like to receive and identifies an entity at which the user's identification information is to be verified;
- retrieving stored identification information associated with the user of the first mobile device;
- generating authentication information, the authentication information including time information identifying when the request was received or when the request was fulfilled and first information identifying the entity at which the user's identification information is to be verified;
- accessing a database to obtain additional information associated with the request, wherein the additional information comprises at least one of a restriction or limitation associated with the identification information;
- forwarding the identification information and the additional information to at least one of the first mobile device or the entity at which the identification information will be verified;
- and
- forwarding the authentication information to at least one of the first mobile device or the entity at which the identity information will be verified, wherein the authentication information is verified by comparing the first information to second information identifying the entity.
5 more elements
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, at a first entity and from a user of a mobile device, information identifying a type of identification information to be used by the first entity to verify an identity of the user;
- obtaining, by the first entity, first information identifying the first entity;
- forwarding, by the first entity, a request for the type of identification information, wherein the request includes the first information;
- receiving, by the first entity and from an identification provider, identification information associated with the user of the mobile device, wherein the identification information is provided in response to the request;
- receiving, by the first entity and from the identification provider, encoded authentication information associated with the identification information, wherein the encoded authentication information includes second information identifying the first entity and time information corresponding to one of a time when the request was received or a time when the request was fulfilled;
- displaying the identification information;
- decoding, by the first entity, the encoded authentication information;
- and
- verifying, by the first entity, the authentication information by comparing the first information to the second information.
