Publication number: 20240422553Abstract: In an example, a provider system receives from a user device a request for user access through a checkpoint. The provider system sends to the user device a request for identification information of the user. The provider system receives user information associated with a mobile identification credential (MIC) which the user device received from an authorizing party system (APS), the user having consented to release the user information to the provider system, and the user information having been verified by the APS. The provider system uses the verified user information associated with the MIC to verify or not verify the identity of the user. The provider system verifies the identity of the user before granting the user the request for user access through the checkpoint.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2024Publication date: December 19, 2024Applicant: The Government of the United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of Homeland SecurityInventors: Jason Lim, Daniel Boyd, Chang Ellison, Michelle Wilson
