  • Publication number: 20230319039
    Abstract: A digital wallet generates an identification value associated with a DID of a DID owner. The digital wallet generates a first request including the identification value for an authentication token from an identification provider. The first request is provided to the identification provider. The digital wallet receives, in response to the identification provider validating the first request, the authentication token that authenticates the digital wallet with a verifiable claim issuer including the identification value from the identification provider. The digital wallet generates a second request for one or more verifiable claims from the verifiable claim issuer. The second request includes the DID and authentication token including the identification value. In response to the verifiable claim issuer validating the authentication token and the identification value, one or more verifiable claims from the verifiable claim issuer are received by the digital wallet.

  • Patent number: 8973099
    Abstract: Described is using a client-side account selector in a passive authentication protocol environment (such as OpenID) in which a relying party website trusts the authentication response from an identity provider website. The account selector may access and maintain historical information so as to provide user-specific identity provider selection options (rather than only general identity provider selection options). The account selector is invoked based upon an object tag in the page, e.g., as invoked by a browser extension associated with that particular object tag. The account selector may communicate with a reputation service to obtain reputation information corresponding to the identity providers, and vary its operation based upon the reputation information.
