METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING A STRUCTURED AND PARTIALLY REGENERABLE IDENTIFIER
First Claim
1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
- a request to generate at least one identifier, wherein the at least one identifier is regenerable and includes, at least in part, a plurality of fields;
data for populating respective ones of the plurality of fields;
at least one determination to separately hash and/or encrypt the respective ones of the plurality of fields; and
a generation of the at least one identifier based, at least in part, on the hashed and/or encrypted respective ones of the plurality of fields.

Abstract
An approach is provided for generating a structured and partially regenerable identifier. An identification generation platform receives a request to generate at least one regenerable that includes, at least in part, a plurality of fields. The identification generation platform determines to separately hash and/or encrypt the respective ones of the plurality of fields. A generation of the at least one identifier is caused, based at least in part, on the hashed and/or encrypted respective ones of the plurality of fields.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, receive a request to generate at least one identifier, wherein the at least one identifier is regenerable and includes, at least in part, a plurality of fields; determine data for populating respective ones of the plurality of fields; determine to separately hash and/or encrypt the respective ones of the plurality of fields; and cause, at least in part, a generation of the at least one identifier based, at least in part, on the hashed and/or encrypted respective ones of the plurality of fields. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
