Digital identity system
First Claim
1. 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 comprising a hardware processor and memory 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;
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.

13. A bearer device comprising:
-
a computer interface; and a hardware processor configured to execute a digital identity application, wherein the digital identity application is configured when executed on the processor to perform operations comprising; generating an electronic sharing token request, wherein the token request identifies at least one of bearer attribute in a data store of the digital identity system; transmitting the token request to the digital identic system via the computer interface; receiving from the digital identity system, in response to the electronic token request, a sharing token unique to that request for presentation by the bearer to a validator; and rendering the unique sharing token available to a validator, wherein presentation of the unique sharing token to the digital identify system by the validator causes the identified at least one bearer attribute to be rendered available to the validator by the digital identity system. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. Non-transitory computer-readable storage media configured to store executable instructions, which, when executed on one or more hardware processors of a digital system, configure the one or more hardware processors to implement the following:
-
receiving at the digital identity system from a bearer an electronic sharing token request, wherein the token request identifies in a data store at least one attribute of the bearer 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; 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.
