Abstract
A first digital identification document is transmitted from an identification authority to a mobile device of an identified individual. This first digital identification document is digitally signed and includes a set of attributes about the identified individual. In the same manner, a second digital identification document is also transmitted to the identified individual's mobile device. The second digital identification document is also digitally signed but includes a different set of attributes about the identified individual. The identified individual is then confronted by a series of challengers, wherein each challenger requires a different amount of information about the identified individual. Based on the identity of each challenger, the identified individual selects an appropriate identification document and transmits it to the applicable challenger's device. The challenger is then able to confirm both the information he needs about the identified individual and the validity of the identification document that he receives.
