Scannable ID Card Verification for Secure Identity Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Individuals lack secure and verifiable means to authenticate their identity, leading to risks of personal data insecurity and denial of access to services, particularly affecting vulnerable groups.
Innovation Solution
A system utilizing a database to store identifying information, including a QR code or NFC chip, with encryption and biometric data, enabling offline verification and secure transmission through a digital signature algorithm and asymmetric encryption process, allowing authorities and third-parties to validate identities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional personal information sharing methods are used, then access to services can be obtained, but security and privacy protection deteriorate due to multiple parties handling personal data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts personal information from traditional sharing systems and stores it in a secure database, issuing ID cards with codes instead of sharing raw personal data. This removes personal information from the circulation between multiple parties, improving security while maintaining service access capability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary verification system where authorities verify identities through scanned codes rather than directly handling personal information. This intermediary layer protects individual privacy while enabling service providers to verify identities securely
2Reliability
If government ID verification is required for service access, then service security is improved, but accessibility deteriorates for vulnerable groups without legally recognized identity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal identification system where individuals without government IDs can still obtain verified identification through the system. The ID card with scannable code serves multiple functions: it provides verified identity for service access, protects privacy, and works across different service providers, making the system adaptable to diverse user needs including vulnerable groups
3Ease of operation
If personal information is transmitted to multiple parties, then service access capability is improved, but confidentiality deteriorates due to increased exposure risks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary verification element (code on ID card) from personal information and transmits this instead of the full personal data. Service providers can verify identities through scanning codes without receiving or storing confidential personal information, maintaining service access while protecting confidentiality
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a copy of identity verification capability in the form of scannable codes on ID cards. These codes contain verified identity information without exposing the underlying personal data. Multiple copies can be distributed to service providers for verification without compromising the original personal information's confidentiality
Data Source
AI summary
A system for providing secure, verified, and authenticated identification for an individual is disclosed, including a cyphered byte array for storing identifying information associated with an individual. An ID card includes at least one code associated with the individual's associated identifying information. The ID card is scanned by a computing device associated with an authority or a third-party via an API web server interface to permit the authority or the third-party to verify the identity of the individual.
