Patent number: 11416602Abstract: An embodiment of a method of providing identity services includes: receiving identity data for an individual for which the identity provider has provided an identity; generating a transaction to store an identifier representing the identity data in a data structure on a blockchain of a distributed system; sending the transaction to at least one node of the distributed system; and generating an identity token incorporating the identifier representing the identity data. An embodiment of a method of verifying an identity includes: receiving data extracted from the identity token, wherein the extracted data includes an identifier representing the identity data; determining whether a data structure containing the extracted identifier representing the identity data is stored on a blockchain of a distributed system; and outputting an indication of a validity of an identity associated with the identity data based on the determination.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: REFINITIV US ORGANIZATION LLCInventors: David Costa Faidella, Robert Joseph Schukai, Scott Ryan Manuel, Marco Pierleoni, Jason A.
