  • Patent number: 12143816
    Abstract: Disclosed are example methods, systems, and devices that allow for the generation and provisioning of digital credentials, which may demonstrate that a trusted entity has validated individual identity attributes, or sets of attributes, of a user. Digital credentials may also demonstrate one or more extrapolations resulting from deductions or inductions from validated identity attributes. A receiver device may indicate which identity attributes or extrapolations are sought by displaying a QR or other code and/or via a transmission using NFC or other wireless communication, and a user device may access corresponding digital attributes in an ID wallet to be provisioned via code or transmission. Digital credentials may restrict uses and usability of identity attributes. Cryptographic keys and/or distributed ledger records may allow recipients to verify authenticity of digital credentials. The same identity attribute may be proven by showing validation by multiple selectable trusted entities.
