  • Systems and methods for permitting access to a party using a decentralized identity
    Patent number: 12363545
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for controlling access to communications with a party using a decentralized identity. A device may receive biometric information of a user, and retrieve, using the biometric information of the user, a first communication address associated with the user. The device may transmit, via the first communication address, a request to communicate with the user; and may receive, from a second device associated with the user, an identification of a second communication address controlled by the user. The device may utilize the second communication address to transmit at least one item of information to the second device associated with the user.
