Patent number: 11652638Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing user identities in networks. One exemplary method includes receiving, at a communication device, an API call request for a credential from a relying party. The communication device includes an application that incorporates an SDK. After receiving the API call request for the credential, the communication device authenticates a user associated with the communication device and identified in the API call request.
