Automation of user identity using network protocol providing secure granting or revocation of secured access rights

Abstract

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for user-controlled access control for user information. One example method includes sending an authentication request to authenticate as a requesting entity to a first decentralized resource directory of a providing entity. An authentication challenge is received, via the connection, from the providing entity, and in response to the authentication request, to store an authentication challenge value for an authentication challenge key in a second decentralized resource directory of the requesting entity. The authentication challenge value for the authentication challenge key is stored in the second decentralized resource directory. An authentication challenge response is sent to the providing entity requesting the providing entity to verify the authentication challenge. An indication is received from the providing entity indicating that the requesting entity is authenticated to the first decentralized resource directory as the requesting entity.
