SELECTIVELY PROVISIONING CLIENTS WITH DIGITAL IDENTITY REPRESENTATIONS
First Claim
1. A method performed by a server for provisioning a client with at least one digital identity representation which represents aspects of a natural person'"'"'s identity, the method comprising the steps of the server:
- receiving a provisioning request for digital identity representations, the provisioning request including at least one filtering parameter associated with at least one digital identity representation field;
automatically assembling a provisioning response containing at least one digital identity representation, wherein each digital identity representation in the provisioning response satisfies the filtering parameter(s) of the provisioning request; and
transmitting the provisioning response onto a computer network.

Abstract
A server provisions a client with digital identity representations such as information cards. A provisioning request to the server includes filtering parameters. The server assembles a provisioning response containing cards that satisfy the filtering parameters, and transmits the response to a client, possibly by way of a proxy. The provisioning response may include provisioning state information to help a server determine in subsequent exchanges which cards are already present on the client. A client may keep track the source of information cards and discard cards which a server has discarded. A proxy may make the provisioning request on behalf of a client, providing the server with the proxy'"'"'s own authentication and with a copy of the request from the client to the proxy.

11. A computer-readable medium configured with data and instructions for causing a client to perform a method for at least attempting to obtain at least one digital identity information card from at least one server, the method comprising the steps of the client:
-
creating a provisioning request for digital identity information cards, the provisioning request including at least one filtering parameter associated with at least one digital identity information card field representing an aspect of a natural person'"'"'s identity; and sending the provisioning request on a computer network. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer system comprising:
-
server hardware including a logical processor and a memory in operable communication with the logical processor; a collection of digital identity information cards configuring a portion of the memory and having associated version indication(s); provisioning software configuring a portion of the memory, the provisioning software embodying code to perform at least the following steps; automatically receive a provisioning request for digital identity information cards; and automatically identify within the collection any digital identity information cards which satisfy filtering parameter(s) associated with digital identity information card field(s); and provisioning state information indicating a client and a set of the client'"'"'s digital identity information cards. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
