Abstract
A first mobile device securely transmits selected verified attributes concerning the corresponding user to a second mobile device. The first device broadcasts verified, signed biometric information concerning its user, and the user's public key. The second device confirms the received broadcasted biometric information, based on sensor input. For example, sensors on the second device generate images of the first user, who is physically proximate, and information gleaned from the images is compared to broadcasted biometric information. In response to confirming the broadcasted biometric information, the second device transmits a request to establish a secure channel, and both devices generate a session key. The first device selects specific verified attributes to provide to the second device, based on context, policy and/or user directive. The first device then encrypts the attributes using the session key, and transmits them to the second device. The second device receives and decrypts the attributes.
