Systems and methods are provided for managing user identities in networks. One exemplary method includes receiving, at a communication device, an API call request for a credential from a relying party. The communication device includes an application that incorporates an SDK. After receiving the API call request for the credential, the communication device authenticates a user associated with the communication device and identified in the API call request. After authentication of the user the communication device generates, via the SDK, a private-public key pair and stores the private key in memory. The communication device compiles, via the SDK, a credential packet include the public key and identity data associated with the user and transmits the credential packet to the relying party, whereby the relying party is registered to the SDK to request assertions of an identity of the user.
