1. A method for controlling distribution of a digital identity representation, comprising the steps of:

  • receiving at a first device a request from a second device to obtain the digital identity representation, wherein the request includes a timestamp based on a timing mechanism of the second device;

    determining, at the first device, whether to accept the request;

    when the request is accepted, generating, by the first device, the digital identity representation, further including, in the absence of a first device timing mechanism, relying on the timestamp to encode a time-based use restriction into the digital identity representation;

    providing, by the first device, the digital identity representation to the second device.
