Abstract: Systems and methods for managing digital identities. In some embodiments, a method is provided, comprising acts of: receiving a request to validate at least one statement about a user; identifying, from the request, a reference to a distributed ledger, the reference comprising an identifier for the distributed ledger and an identifier for a transaction recorded on the distributed ledger; identifying, based at least in part on the identifier for the distributed ledger, at least one node of a network of nodes managing the distributed ledger; and communicating with the at least one node to validate the at least one statement about the user.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for performing access control for a first entity. The method comprises using a pointer associated with a second entity to access, from a distributed ledger system, at least one attestation for at least one attribute of the second entity, wherein the at least one attestation is movable between at least two states in the distributed ledger system, the at least two states comprising a VERIFIED state and allowing the second entity to access the first entity in response to determining that the at least one attestation is in the VERIFIED state, that the third entity is to be trusted for verifying the at least one attestation, that the cryptographic proof is a valid proof of the at least one privilege label, and that the one or more access rules are satisfied.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing digital identities. In some embodiments, a method is provided, comprising acts of: using a plurality of measurements taken from a user to generate an identifier for the user, the identifier comprising a cryptographic proof of the plurality of measurements; instantiating a digital identity representation associated with the identifier for the user, the digital identity representation comprising program code that implements rules for attestation; generating an electronic signature over the digital identity representation; and publishing the digital identity representation and the electronic signature to a distributed ledger system.
