  • Publication number: 20260073073
    Abstract: Analysis credential for analyzing contents of a user's mobile/identity wallet and a method for doing same. An analysis credential is designed by an issuer and provided to a user's computing device at the user's active request. Instructions relating to the analysis credential cause a search of the wallet contents for relevant items and cause a value for the credential to be computed based on the contents of the wallet. The user is then prompted to provide consent for sharing the value of the credential with a verifier. The value of the credential preferably contains no identifying or sensitive information about the user. The analysis credential, in some embodiments, is evaluated on a predetermined schedule, while in other embodiments, the analysis credential is only evaluated in response to the user's request. Consent to evaluate the analysis credential may also be required in some embodiments.

  • Publication number: 20240086519
    Abstract: System and method for distributed management of consumer data. The system verifies anonymized credential objects that represent consumer experiences/interests/preferences/etc. Credential schema data outlining desired attributes of a specific credential is provided by an organization user and is written to a distributed ledger. Responsive to a request from a consumer user's computing device, a credential delivery device delivers available credential object(s) to that computing device. A credential verification device receives a verification request from the computing device and prompts creation of a response value related to the credential's desired attributes) on the consumer user's computing device. When the response value conforms to requirements derived from the credential schema data, a first result is prompted; otherwise, a second result is prompted. In some embodiments, the response value is a zero-knowledge-proof (ZKP).
