A processor-implemented system and method for dynamically retrieving an attribute value of an identity claim for a user using a digitally signed access token that is digitally signed by a user device, at a relying party device associated with a relying party. The method includes (i) making an API call to retrieve at least one identity claim for the user, (ii) processing each identity claim of the user to identify if at least one by-reference identity claim that includes a URL of an endpoint, (iii) obtaining the digitally signed access token that is digitally signed by the user device, (iv) invoking the URL of the endpoint with the at least one by-reference identity claim and the digitally signed access token, and (v) dynamically retrieving the attribute value from the URL of the endpoint from an issuing party device associated with an issuing party.

A credential accessing system includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a request to access a credential using a credential access application. The processor is configured to execute the credential access application in response to a request from a user application, wherein the request from the user application comprises an indication of a target application. Executing the credential access application comprises:1) receiving an indication of interactive control, wherein interactive control is redirected from the user application, and wherein the indication of interactive control comprises the indication to access the credential; 2) determine whether to allow access to the credential; and 3) in response to determining to allow access to the credential, access the credential and provide the credential to the target application; and 4) indicate to redirect interactive control to the target application.

A method, software, and system for a Digital Identity Management (DIM) system is discussed. The system facilitates the creation of a Public Key/Private Key pair based user credentials using the Trusted Execution Environment in mobile phones, and is protected by DIM app with the user's biometrics and/or a PIN code. Identity tokens representing identity attributes of the user are issued by Issuing Parties using Hardware Security Modules and stored in the DIM app on the mobile device.

An embodiment herein provides a processor implemented method for blockchain-based secure credential and token management for open identity management that enables a first device to provision at least one additional device to present tokens issued to the first device, that includes i) creating, using a hardware-based cryptographic processor on a first device associated with an end user, a first set of credentials; ii) obtaining and caching at least one attestation token from one or attestation issuing parties, the at least one attestation token is restricted by default to be unusable from any device other than the first device; (iii) providing the at least one attestation token to at least one relying party that is interested in receiving attestations about the end user; and iv) signing a trust record on the blockchain using the first device associated with the end user.

Blockchain-based secure credential and token management across multiple devices

Blockchain-based device authentication by a user device to enable a second device is disclosed to perform an action on a first device on behalf of a user linked to the user device, based on a command received from the second device. Authentication includes the steps of: (i) obtaining an indentity information associated with an identity document of the user; (ii) storing the identity information, and a set of credentials, with a blockchain to link the identity information with the set of credentials for the user; (iii) signing a first trust certificate by a user private key on the blockchain to obtain a first signed trust certificate; and (iv) signing a second trust certificate by the user private key on the blockchain to obtain a second signed trust certificate.

The relying party device checks whether the response matches with a predetermined correct response or not. The relying party device authenticates the user only if the response matches with the predetermined correct response.
