Abstract: The present disclosure is related to blockchain technologies, tokenization and non-fungible token (NFT) technologies, identity verification, account verification, information security (InfoSec), and fraud prevention technologies, and in particular, to technologies for creating NFT identities (IDs) for individuals and/or organizations. An NFT ID service interacts with users to obtain ID information such as ID documents, biographical data, biometric data, and/or any other suitable data. The NFT ID service includes an NFT ID engine that generates an NFT-based form of digitized and/or tokenized ID, using blockchain technology, smart contracts, distributed ledgers, digital wallets, and the ID information. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments are related to technologies for the provision of contact tracing services (CTS) in an affordable and non-intrusive means for individuals to check in and check out of gathering places so that their contact information can be stored and made available to contact tracers. A gathering place operator scans a machine-readable element (MRE) of a contact tracing participant that enters or exits the gathering place. The MRE encodes a unique identifier (UID) generated by the CTS for the participant, and the scan captures the UID along with a location and a timestamp at entry or exit of the gathering place. The UID, location, and timestamp are provided to the CTS for storage in a contact tracing database, which is used for providing contact tracing information to contact tracers. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
