This invention relates to personal identity management and verifiable and authenticable methods and systems for mobile personal credentials. A critical problem is knowing the true identity of counterparties while using electronic messaging or conducting online transactions. Existing security measures can be bypassed when identity is presented in electronic form. The inventors address these issues by providing digital ID document in conjunction with data that permits the other party to verify ID. Further, the inventors either link the electronic ID to its physical counterpart or to the actual physical individual presenting the ID. Immutable digital ledger technology, such as blockchain, is used to provide trustworthy authentication of digital identity along with assurance that the identity presented belongs to the individual presenting it.

System and method which using blockchain protects the privacy of access code and the identity of an individual seeking online access

This patent describes a platform built on Blockchain/Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) utilizing validated Self-Sovereign Identity. Identity information stored securely on a mobile device and information usable by the requestor to verify the identity and the identity presenter are delivered at the request of the identity owner. The patent claims describe the use, sharing and verification of personal and financial identity data with the identity owner's permission. The Identity owner retain complete control over distribution of their information. Technologies derived from this patent will protect technology users from theft of physical credentials that represent identity. The patent claims describe verification of identity information stored on a smart device in mobile credential form, and also verification that the presenter of the identity is the person to whom those credentials belong. Evidence of identity authentication stored using DLT ensures the authenticity of both identity and validations in a manner resistant to digital tampering.

System and method, which using blockchain and mobile devices, provides the validated and authenticated identity of an individual to a valid and authenticated requestor

Identity documents are produced to confirm the identity of an individual and often their rights, such as driver's license, health card, age, and residence. False and counterfeit documents however can be used to commit fraud, gain unauthorized access to services and steal an individual's identity. Embodiments of the invention address verification and authentication of an identity document by correlating the information extracted from the identity document at the time of its presentation as evidence of an individual's identity with the original data relating to the identity document when it was issued to an individual or subsequently verified by an issuing authority of the identity document.

Systems and methods relating to the authenticity and verification of photographic identity documents

The migration of identity documents, such as driving licenses, from physical documents to electronic documents creates new problems for those seeking to verify the identity of an individual based upon the electronic document they provide. However, the inventors have established a means of binding electronic documents and electronic representations of physical documents to individuals at issuance of the document(s). Accordingly, the inventors address identity verification by providing to those seeking to verify the individual's identity data allowing them to verify the presented electronic ID document. For example, a police officer requesting a driving license can obtain on their own electronic device through the methods of the invention the issued driving license associated with identifier information on the license provided by the individual. As such tampering with the license to change a name, date of birth, photo etc. will result in a visible mismatch to the police officer in comparing them.

System and method for protecting the privacy of identity and financial information of the consumer conducting online business

A camera and a method for controlling the camera. Also a face recognition secure access camera and a method of capturing an image that is not saturated or too dark.

Secure access camera and method for camera control

A system and method that permits a plurality of clients to remotely search and share biometric information contained in single or a plurality of databases over a local area network, wide area network or public network such as the Internet. The system comprises one ore more remote workstations each having a camera and means for converting facial images of persons of interest to biometric templates. A biometric search query may be placed from the remote workstation to one or more searchable databases containing a plurality of biometric templates. The databases are connected to the workstation by communication means through a server that manages data traffic between the remote workstation and the database. A search engine compares the biometric template of the person of interest to those stored on the database(s) and indicates a match according to a predetermined confidence interval. A predetermined number of matches are prioritized in order of similarity to the person of interest and returned to the workstation for review.

Secure system for the identification of persons using remote searching of facial, iris and voice biometric templates

A method for secure transmission of data, like e-mail and other secure documents, over a computer network includes the use of biometrics to verify that the sender of the data is confirmed as an individual authorized for secure access transmission of data over the network and by verifying that the recipient of the data is also an individual authorized to receive data by secure access transmission over the network. The methodology comprises creating a database containing the biometric templates of all individuals authorized for secure access transmission of data over the network and connecting the database to a data processor. The transmission of counterfeit messages is prevented by confirming the identity of the sender as an individual authorized for secure access transmission over the network by scanning a predetermined biometric of the sender, and comparing the biometric of the sender with the predetermined biometric of all individuals who are authorized for secure access transmission over the network. The recipient of a secure access message is not permitted to access the message until recipient's identity has been similarly confirmed as an individual authorized to receive messages secure access transmitted over the network. Once the recipient's identity is confirmed the message may be opened. The sender will receive confirmation by return electronic mail that the message has been opened by the authorized recipient.
