  • Publication number: 20260017353
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an identity network that can provide a universal, digital identity for users that can be used to authenticate the user by an identity provider for relying parties. The identity network receives a request from a relying party that includes deep linking to an identity provider selected by the user. The request specifies the user as well as any other information about the user the relying party is requesting. A service of the identity network launches the application for the identity provider on the user's device using a software development kit. The user can log into the identity provider's application, which validates the user and provides the user authentication/validation and information about the user to the identity network. The identity network can then provide the indication of the user's authentication and the user information to the relying party.

  • Publication number: 20250181686
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an identity network that provides a universal, digital identity for users to be authenticated by an identity provider for relying parties upon sign-in to the relying party. The identity network receives the sign-in request from a relying party for a user using a user device. The identity network can provide a session identifier to the relying party for the request and launch an identity provider application associated with the user via a software development kit in the relying party application. The user may sign-in to the identity provider via the software development kit, thereby authenticating the user for the relying party. Additionally, the identity provider may generate a risk validation score and provide it to the relying party that provides a confidence value that the user is validly using the user device and a risk score based on device activity on the identity network.

  • Publication number: 20250150454
    Abstract: Described herein is an identity network for validating the digital identity of a user. The identity network may receive, from a relying party, an identity validation request to validate a digital identity of the user. The identity network may provide, to the relying party, a link associated with an identity provider application based on the identity validation request. The identity network may receive, from an identity provider associated with the identity provider application, a confirmation that the user has successfully accessed the identity provider application via the link. After receiving the confirmation, the identity network may receive from the identity provider, an attribute validation request to validate identity attributes of the user, where the attribute validation request includes a plurality of identity attributes of the user. The identity network may validate the digital identity of the user based on the plurality of identity attributes.
