Claim 17:
18. A system comprising:
a reference data system that is part of a first enterprise and that includes a reference processor and a reference database of adult subjects and their associated attributes, wherein the reference database which contains a plurality of identity data records that only contain identity attributes that are used for resolving and verifying identities of unknown data records that are external to the reference data system;
wherein the reference processor is configured to:
receive a first set of query attributes, representing a first subject, from a private data system;
determine whether the first set of query attributes representing a first subject resolves uniquely, using the first set of query attributes, to a selected reference subject represented by a selected reference data record contained in the reference database, wherein the selected reference data record contains one or more reference attributes representing the selected reference subject;
retrieve the one or more selected reference attributes from the selected reference data record;
on a condition that the reference processor resolves uniquely an identity of the first subject with the identity of the selected reference subject using the first set of query attributes and the one or more reference attributes, the reference database is configured to:
resolve the identity of the first subject as a verified first subject by linking the selected reference subject with the first subject;
retrieve one or more selected reference attributes from the selected reference data record; and
return, to the private data system, a message verifying the identity of the first subject and including a first set of combined attributes which include the first set of query attributes and one or more selected reference record attributes, wherein the first set of combined data attributes enable the private data system to link with certainty the verified first subject with a selected private subject by resolving uniquely the identity of the verified first subject and the selected private subject.
