Abstract: Methods and systems for creating a digital association are provided. The method includes obtaining a first user-generated item comprising identifiable features of a first user and a second user. The method also includes obtaining a second user-generated item comprising the identifiable features of the first user and the second user. The method also includes cross-confirming that the first and second user-generated items are valid to verify the digital association.

Abstract: Methods and systems for creating a verifiable digital identity are provided. The method includes obtaining a first user-generated item comprising an identifiable feature. The method also includes digitally signing the first user-generated item to generate a secure digital artifact. The method also includes uploading the secure digital artifact and the first user-generated item to an auditable chain of a public ledger. The method also includes verifying a digital identity of the user by auditing the auditable chain. The method also includes obtaining a second user-generated item generated comprising the identifiable feature. The method also includes comparing the first and second user-generated items. The method also includes uploading the second user-generated item to the public ledger when the comparing is within a threshold.

Abstract: Methods and systems for generating a social graph are provided. The method includes generating and associating a first digital identity with a first node of the social graph, the social graph including a graphical representation of associations of digital identities. The method also includes associating the first digital identity with a second digital identity, the first digital identity providing verification for the second digital identity. The method also includes associating the second digital identity with a second node of the social graph. The method also includes linking the first node of the social graph to the second node of the social graph to establish an association between the first digital identity and the second digital identity.

Abstract: Methods and systems for incentivizing verification of a digital identity are provided. The method includes generating a first digital identity through at least a first certified device, the first digital identity including a first secure digital artifact uploaded to an auditable chain of a public ledger to establish a first physical identity of a first user. The method also includes associating the first digital identity with a new digital identity, the new digital identity including a new secure digital artifact uploaded to the auditable chain of the public ledger to establish a second physical identity of a second user, the first digital identity providing verification for the new digital identity. The method also includes providing rewards to the first user for associating the first digital identity with the new digital identity, the rewards including social and/or monetary incentives for associating the first digital identity with the new digital identity.

Abstract: Methods and systems for creating a digital association are provided. The method includes obtaining a first user-generated item comprising a first user identifiable feature of a first user and a second user identifiable feature of a second user, and obtaining a second user-generated item comprising the first user identifiable feature and the second user identifiable feature. The method also includes cross-confirming that the first and second user-generated items are valid to verify the digital association. The method also includes digitally signing the first user-generated item with a first certified device to generate a first secure digital artifact, and digitally signing the second user-generated item with a second certified device to generate a second secure digital artifact. The method also includes uploading the first and second secure digital artifacts to an auditable chain of a public ledger comprising a database.

Abstract: Methods and systems for creating a verifiable digital identity are provided. The method includes verifying a device belongs to a user. The method also includes tying the device to a private key. The method also includes obtaining a first user-generated item comprising an identifiable feature. The method also includes digitally signing the first user-generated item to generate a secure digital artifact. The method also includes uploading the secure digital artifact and the first user-generated item to an auditable chain of a public ledger. The method also includes verifying a digital identity of the user by auditing the auditable chain. The method also includes obtaining a second user-generated item generated comprising the identifiable feature. The method also includes comparing the first and second user-generated items. The method also includes uploading the second user-generated item to the public ledger when the comparing is within a threshold.
