Decentralized document and entity verification engine

Abstract

A system and method enabling an entity to prove its identity and provide authentic documents / data / information therein at any time required based upon data retrieved froman independent cryptographically verifiable source (ICVS) through a secured channel is disclosed. The system enables a virtual and secure browser on a user computing device allowing a user to login and retrieve authentic information pertaining to the user from the ICVS in a verifiable and untamperable manner. The retrieved information is bounded with origination information of the ICVS and the bounded information is provided torelying entities as authentic information for verification. Also, cryptographic value of the authentic information can be stored in an immutable storage such as blockchain, so that the cryptographicvalue is used by the relying-party to validate integrity of the authentic information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of authentication systems and methods. In particular, the present disclosure relates to providing real entity information based on raw authentication data retrieved from an independent cryptographically verifiable source (ICVS) in order to authenticate the entity and / or data provided thereby. Background technique [0002] The Background Description includes information that is helpful in understanding the present invention. No admission is made that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art. [0003] In the current digital age, many documents are stored in authorized repositories in electronic or digital format. Certain authorization repositories store unique information including biometric credentials of various users and are used to verify / authenticate the user's identity wh...

Problems solved by technology

Additionally, many government or corporate services and boarding workflows require notarization and apostille or the physical presence of users, so governments need to have physical application processing centers with limited regional coverage for visas, licenses and permits, etc.

Additionally, exposure to counterfeiting and counterfeiting creates unnecessary time, cost, liability and friction for global commerce

Another problem with traditional methods of credential verification is the "telephone family problem," where the credential needs to be verified with the issuer, leading to the possibility of mass surveillance of credential users
