Digital identity system
First Claim
1. A method of tracking a physical object, the method comprising:
- at a recipient device operated by a recipient of the physical object, scanning a token of a bearer received with the physical object, the token of the bearer having been applied to the physical object by the bearer, the token received with the physical object having been associated at a digital identity system with a bearer address, in response to at least one electronic message received from the bearer;
transmitting, from the recipient device to a validation service of the digital identity system, a validation message comprising the scanned token of the bearer and a credential stored at the recipient device, the credential being bound to a digital identity of the recipient maintained by the digital identity system;
at the validation service, validating the credential, and if the credential is valid, using the credential and the digital identity of the recipient to create an electronic message comprising or indicating;
a unique code identifying the recipient, and/or a digital identity attribute of the digital identity of the recipient; and
transmitting the electronic message to a bearer device associated with said bearer address associated with the scanned token, at the digital identity system, wherein the electronic message confirms to the bearer receipt of the physical object by the recipient.

Abstract
A method of a digital identity system generating a sharing token for authenticating a bearer to a validator, wherein a data store of the digital identity system holds a plurality of attributes of the bearer, the method comprising implementing by the digital identity system the following steps: receiving at the digital identity system from a bearer an electronic sharing token request, wherein the token request identifies at least one of the bearer'"'"'s attributes in the data store selected for sharing with a validator; in response to the electronic token request, generating a sharing token, which is unique to that request, for presentation by the bearer to a validator; associating with the unique sharing token at the digital identity system the identified at least one bearer attribute; and issuing to the bearer the unique sharing token; and wherein later presentation of the unique sharing token to the digital identify system by a validator causes the at least one bearer attribute associated with the sharing token to be rendered available to the validator by the digital identity system.

16. A system for tracking a physical object, the system comprising:
-
a digital identity system configured to maintain a digital identity of a recipient having a credential bound thereto, wherein the digital identity system is configured to receive at least one electronic message from a bearer and associate a bearer address with a token of the bearer in response; and a recipient device comprising a scanner for scanning the token of the bearer received with the physical object, the token of the bearer having been applied to the physical object by the bearer, the token received with the physical object having been associated at the digital identity system with the bearer address, and a processor configured to transmit, from the recipient device to the digital identity system, a validation message comprising the scanned token of the bearer and the credential stored at the recipient device, the credential being bound to the digital identity of the recipient maintained by the digital identity system; wherein the digital identity system comprises one or more processors configured to execute computer-readable instructions, which cause the one or more processors to validate the credential received in the validation message, and if the credential is valid; use the credential and the digital identity of the recipient to create an electronic message comprising or indicating;
a unique code identifying the recipient, and/or a digital identity attribute of the digital identity of the recipient, andtransmit the electronic message to a bearer device associated with said bearer address associated with the scanned token at the digital identity system, wherein the electronic message confirms to the bearer receipt of the physical object by the recipient. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
