Patent number: 10853592Abstract: A digital identity system comprises an enrolment module configured to receive a data item captured from an identity document, and create in persistent electronic storage a digital identity comprising the data item, a credential creation module configured to issue to a user device a credential bound to the digital identity, and a validation service. The validation service is configured to receive an electronic message comprising the credential and identifying a target device, validate the credential, and if the credential is valid, use the credential to transmit an electronic message to the target device, so as to render the data item of the digital identity available to the target device.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2017Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Yoti Holding LimitedInventors: Francisco Angel Garcia Rodriguez, Piers Powlesland, Paolo Greci, Laurence Withers, Eleanor Simone Frederika Loughlin-McHugh, Roman Edward Szczesniak

Patent number: 10692085Abstract: A method of authorizing a secure electronic payment from a payer to a payee. At a digital identity system, an electronic message is received, which comprises a payer credential and identifies a payee system, and a digital identity associated with the payer credential is accessed, the digital identity comprising: 1) at least one identity attribute or data for deriving at least one identity attribute, and 2) a payment token or data for obtaining a payment token, the payment token for effecting an electronic payment from the payer to a recipient of the payment token. At least one electronic message is transmitted from the digital identity system to the payee system to render the identity attribute and the payment token available to the payee system, for determining, based on the identity attribute rendered available to the payee device, whether to use the available payment token to effect the electronic payment.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2017Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: Yoti Holding LimitedInventors: Quirino Zagarese, Francisco Angel Garcia Rodriguez, Piers Powlesland, Paolo Greci, Laurence Withers, Eleanor Simone Frederika Loughlin-McHugh, Roman Edward Szczesniak
