Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for verifying identities of users. One example computer-implemented method includes requesting a unique ID for a user, from a software development kit (SDK) in a mobile device, and issuing the unique ID for the user. The method also includes generating, by the SDK, a public/private key pair specific to the unique ID, prompting the user to capture an image of a government issued document, and capturing the image of the document. The method further includes validating, by the mobile device, the identity of the user based on the image of the document and, based on the validation, (i) converting the image via a one-way hash function, (ii) signing the hashed image with the private key of the public/private key pair, and (iii) transmitting the signed hashed image, the unique ID, and the public key of the public/private key pair to an identification provider.
