Publication number: 20240096153Abstract: An identification systems maintains digital identities for people and uses such digital identities to generate and/or provide one or more digital identification objects to one or more checkpoints. Such digital identification objects may be generated on the fly using identity information stored in association with the digital identities, stored, and so on. The identification system may generate the digital identification object in a format expected by the checkpoint, may have a trusted relationship with the checkpoint and/or may be configured to securely communicate with the checkpoint, and so on. In this way, the identification system may enable use of the automated and/or semi-automated checkpoints discussed above without requiring that people have a mobile driver's license and/or other government-issued digital identification stored on a mobile device that is capable of communicating with the automated and/or semi-automated checkpoints.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Sam Hall, Kenneth Cornick
