Abstract
Leveraging secure tokenization, such as a Non-Fungible Token (NFT), for purposes of multifactor and/or elevated user authentication. In this regard, an authentication NFT is generated based at least on a user's authentication credentials. Subsequently, the authentication NFT is verified/validated via a private distributed trust computing network and stored, in a deactivated state, on a distributed ledger. Once the user is confronted with an elevated and/or multifactored authentication process, the user may initiates use of the authentication NFT by checking-out the authentication NFT from the distributed ledger and moving the authentication NFT from the deactivated state to an activated state, in which the user credentials are accessible to the user for purposes of authentication.
