  • Patent number: 11876905
    Abstract: A trust token may be created including authentication data for a user and his or her associated communication device. The trust token may be transmitted by the communication device to one or more recipients, such as a token server. The recipients may interpret the trust token and verify it against data written to one or more nodes of a blockchain when the user and the communication device registered for the trust token. Once the trust token is verified, the token server may be configured to generate, maintain, and provision account tokens representing sensitive data. The token server may push one or multiple account tokens to the communication device, thereby allowing the communication device to perform transactions with the account tokens. In other words, the implementation of a trust token may allow the communication device to be provisioned with multiple account tokens, without requiring multiple logins or transmissions of sensitive data.
