1. A computer-implemented method for providing access to identity information corresponding to a first entity, the identity information comprising a plurality of identity components stored in a distributed manner, the method comprising:
- generating a first identity access title object which is operable to confer rights to access first selected ones of the identity components to a presenter of the first identity access title object;
transmitting the first identity access title object to a second entity;
facilitating access to the first selected identity components in response to presentation of the first identity access title object by the second entity.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus are describe for providing access to identity information corresponding to a first entity. The identity information includes a plurality of identity components stored in a distributed manner. A first identity access title object is generated which is operable to confer rights to access first selected ones of the identity components to a presenter of the first identity access title object. The first identity access title object is transmitted to a second entity. Access to the first selected identity components is facilitated in response to presentation of the first identity access title object by the second entity.

16. A network for managing identity information for each of a plurality of entities, comprising:
-
a distributed data store for storing the identity information, the identity information for each entity comprising a plurality of identity components;
an identity management component operable to enable each entity to selectively manage access to subsets of the corresponding identity components by others of the entities;
a title publishing component operable to generate title objects each of which is operable to confer rights to access selected ones of the identity components of an associated entity to presenters of the title object; and
a title resolver component for facilitating access to the selected identity components in response to presentation of the title object.
