Abstract: Method and System for enhanced privacy in privacy-preserving identity solutions. The technology provides for a redirect of a request to generate a proof of an attribute from a service provider to a separator. The separator removes source identification from the attribute-proof request and redirects the attribute-proof request, free of original source identification, to a credential issuer which issues the credential. A security device of the user generates a presentation token from the privacy-preserving credential and presents the presentation token to the service provider as proof of the attribute. Other systems and methods are disclosed.
