Abstract: A system for implementing an anonymized attestation chain. The system includes a first device having a first hardware-generated secret and a first verification datum linked to the first hardware-generated secret. The first device is designed and configured to receive an originating signature from an originating device and an originating verification datum. The originating signature includes a secure proof of an originating device secret. The originating signature signs a message referencing the first verification datum, and the originating signature is verified by the originating verification datum. First device generates a first anonymized signature set. The first anonymized signature set includes a modified first verification datum, a modified originating signature, and a modified originating verification datum. First devices delegates the at least a credential to a second verification datum.

Abstract: A system for authenticating a requesting device using verified evaluators includes an authenticating device. The authenticating device is designed and configured to receive at least a first digitally signed assertion from a requesting device, the at least a first digitally signed assertion linked to at least a verification datum, evaluate at least a second digitally signed assertion, signed by at least a cryptographic evaluator, conferring a credential to the requesting device, validate the credential, as a function of the at least a second digitally signed assertion, and authenticate the requesting device based on the credential.
