Abstract: Methods for composable user journeys for user authentication via an identity experience framework are performed by systems and apparatuses. Initiating a user authentication process for an application triggers application calls for dynamic invocation of a specific identity policy, required by the application, of a number of identity policies managed by a host of the identity experience framework. User interfaces defined by the identity policies are provided from the host to the application for interaction by the user and entry of identity information needed to authenticate the user according to specified verification providers. Identity claims and token requests are provided from the application to the host which then authenticates the identity claims via the verification providers and mints a token that includes the claims required by the application, according to the identity policy. The application consumes the token to complete the token request and allow the user access to the application.

Abstract: Generating a verifiable pairwise claim. Receiving a request for issuing a verifiable claim that is associated with a subject entity and is verifiable by one or more verifying entities. The request includes at least an encrypted portion using a particular type of encryptography. Verifying that the subject entity is associated with a subject of the verifiable claim based on decrypting the encrypted portion using the particular type of cryptography. In response to verifying that the subject entity is associated with the subject of the verifiable claim, issuing the verifiable claim that is structured to be verifiable only by the one or more verifying entities.

Abstract: Generating and associating decentralized identifiers (DIDs) for a group of one or more related devices. First, a device group DID is generated. The device group DID is associated with a group of one or more related devices. For each of the group of one or more related devices, a device DID is generated, and associated with the corresponding device. A scope of permission is granted to the device group DID. In response to the granting the scope of permission to the device group DID, each device DID is granted a subset of the scope of permission.

Abstract: Generating and associating decentralized identifiers (DIDs) for a group of related devices. First, a device group DID is generated by generating a private key of the device group DID based on a seed and a first hardware identifier of at least one of the devices in the group. The device group DID is associated with the group of related devices. For each of the group of the related devices, a device DID is derived by generating a private key of the device DID based on a seed, a second hardware identifier of the corresponding device, and the device group DID. The device DID is then associated with the corresponding device. Further, a scope of permission is granted to the device group DID, and each device DID in the group is granted a subset of the scope of permission.

Abstract: Technology is described for enabling passive enforcement of security at computing systems. A component of a computing system can passively authenticate or authorize a user based on observations of the user's interactions with the computing system. The technology may increase or decrease an authentication or authorization level based on the observations. The level can indicate what level of access the user should be granted. When the user or a component of the computing device initiates a request, an application or service can determine whether the level is sufficient to satisfy the request. If the level is insufficient, the application or service can prompt the user for credentials so that the user is actively authenticated. The technology may enable computing systems to “trust” authentication so that two proximate devices can share authentication levels.

Abstract: Technology is described for protecting transactions. The technology may include a switching component that a user can employ to switch an associated mobile device into a secure mode so that a user can confirm the transaction. After initiating a transaction request, the user can confirm the transaction request by activating the switching component, which can cause the mobile device to switch into a secure mode. In the secure mode, the mobile device may prevent the mobile device from conducting various normal activities, such as executing applications, receiving input, providing output, and so forth. The switching component may disable other processing temporarily. Upon receiving the confirmation from the user, the switching component may send a confirmation communication to complete the transaction.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling distribution and use of digital identity representations (“DIRs”) increases security, usability, and oversight of DIR use. A DIR stored on a first device may be obtained by a second device for use in satisfying the security policy of a relying party. Release of the DIR to the second device requires permission from a device or entity that may be different from the device or entity attempting to access the relying party. Further, the use of the DIR to obtain an identity token may separately require permission of even a different person or entity and may be conditioned upon receiving satisfactory information relating to the intended use of the DIR (e.g., the name of the relying party, type of operation being attempted, etc.). By controlling the distribution and use of DIRs, security of the principal's identity and supervisory control over a principal's activities are enhanced.
