First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for generating a structured and partially regenerable identifier comprising:
- receiving a request by a mobile service provider computer or a mobile device computer to generate at least one identifier, where the at least one identifier is regenerable and includes, at least in part, a plurality of fields;
determining via a hardware processor of the mobile service provider computer or mobile device computer, data for populating respective ones of the plurality of fields;
implementing via the processor a separate hash and/or encryption of the respective ones of the plurality of fields;
implementing via the processor 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;
receiving another request to regenerate the at least one identifier, the another request specifying one or more but less than all of the plurality of fields;
implementing via the processor an update to the data of the one or more but less than all of the plurality of fields,where an update frequency is determined separately for two or more of the plurality of fields; and
implementing via the processor a regeneration of the at least one identifier based, at least in part, on the update to the data.

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.

10. An apparatus for generating a structured and partially regenerable identifier comprising:
-
a mobile service provider computer or a mobile device computer further comprising; at least one hardware 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, with the at least one processor, configuring the apparatus to perform at least the following; receive a request to generate at least one identifier, where 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; separately hash and/or encrypt the respective ones of the plurality of fields; implement, 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; receive another request to regenerate the at least one identifier, the another request specifying one or more but less than all of the plurality of fields; implement, at least in part, an update to the data of the one or more but less than all of the plurality of fields, where an update frequency is determined separately for two or more of the plurality of fields; and implement, at least in part, a regeneration of the at least one identifier based, at least in part, on the update to the data. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
