  • Publication number: 20230269098
    Abstract: A first user device may be used to request provisioning of a secure credential on a second user device. A provisioning system may facilitate the provisioning in a manner that ensures security and privacy of the requesting parties. The provisioning requests may be made using an application on the first user device such as a third-party application or using a web application via a browser. The credential may be added to a digital wallet on the second user device. The credential may be useable by the second user device to perform one or more contactless transactions.

  • Patent number: 11588804
    Abstract: A device implementing a system for using a verified claim of identity includes at least one processor configured to receive a verified claim including information to identify a user of a device, the verified claim being signed by a server based on verification of the information by an identity verification provider separate from the server, the verified claim being specific to the device. The at least one processor is further configured to send, to a service provider, a request for a service provided by the service provider, and receive, from the service provider and in response to the sending, a request for the verified claim. The at least one processor is further configured to send, in response to the receiving, the verified claim to the service provider.

  • Publication number: 20200213296
    Abstract: A device implementing a system for using a verified claim of identity includes at least one processor configured to send, to a service provider, a request for a service provided by the service provider. The at least one processor may be further configured to receive, from the service provider and in response to the sending, a request for a verified claim, the verified claim comprising plural data fields to identify a user of a device and being a digital certificate signed by a server, the verified claim being associated with to the device. The at least one processor may be further configured to, in response to the receiving, determine a confidence assessment for the verified claim based on a comparison between the plural data fields in the verified claim and corresponding data locally-stored on a device, and send the confidence assessment and the verified claim to the service provider.

  • Publication number: 20200213295
    Abstract: A device implementing a system for using a verified claim of identity includes at least one processor configured to receive a first request to revoke a verified claim, the verified claim comprising information to identify a user of a device, wherein the verified claim includes a hardware reference key of the device, and wherein the hardware reference key is a public key of a public-private key pair, a corresponding private key of which is securely stored on the device. The at least one processor may be further configured to in response to receiving the request, send, to the device, a second request to revoke the verified claim on the device, and add the verified claim to a revocation list.

  • Publication number: 20200213294
    Abstract: A device implementing the subject system may include a processor configured to send, to a service provider, a request for a service provided by the service provider. The processor may be further configured to receive, in response to sending the request for the service, a request for a verified claim, the verified claim comprising first information to identify a user of a device and being a digital certificate signed by a server, the verified claim being associated with the device. The processor may be further configured to send, in response to receiving the request for the verified claim, the verified claim to the service provider, and receive a request for second information to identify the user, the second information being different than the first information, the request for the second information being based on a determination that the first information is not sufficient to identify the user.

  • Publication number: 20200213311
    Abstract: A device implementing a system for using a verified claim of identity may include at least one processor configured to receive a response vector corresponding to a verified claim of a user of a device, the verified claim comprising plural data fields to identify the user and being a digital certificate signed by a server, the verified claim being associated with the device, the response vector comprising, for each field of the plural data fields, a confidence score indicating a likelihood that the field is accurate. The at least one processor may be further configured to receive, from the device, a request for a service, determine, in response to receiving the request, that service is to be provided to the device based on the response vector and the verified claim, and provide the service to the device based on the determining.
