Abstract
The present technology can allow a user to use the OpenID Connect protocol to login to an account that has an anonymous user account ID. More specifically, the present technology can programmatically combine information received from an OpenID provider during the OpenID Connect protocol with a random value to yield a unique anonymous user account ID. The present technology also makes use of the ability within the OpenID Connect protocol to embed a chosen nonce into the token signed by the OpenID provider. This allows for embedding hashes of cryptographic keys, like signature verification keys, into ID tokens received from the OpenID provider that authenticates the user. Subsequently, the user can sign messages that can be verified using the verification key bound to the ID token from the OpenID provider.
