Claim 23:
24. A computer implemented method for providing an authenticated digital identity of a user, the method comprising:
electronically receiving identifiable attributes of a user;
providing user privacy selection options within a federated network for protecting the identifiable attributes based on features, functions and access roles therefor;
identifying a type of identifiable attribute permitted to be shared within the federated network, with whom, and in what time frame;
electronically verifying authenticity of the identifiable attributes for providing authenticated attributes;
validating at least a portion of the identifiable attributes by confirming each respectively matches a corresponding evidenced based identifiable attribute;
assigning an internal unique identity number in concert with defined authenticated user attributes:
only permitting access by the user or a designee thereof to the identifiable attributes having the internal unique identity number;
determining a level of confidence from a ranking of the validated identifiable attributes, wherein the identifiable attributes having the internal identity number provide a greater level of confidence than the identifiable attributes not validated;
forming an authenticated digital identity from the validated identifiable attributes, and establishing a level of confidence therefor from the ranking thereof;
assigning an external identifier to a smart device resulting from privacy and consent restrictions set by the user; and
providing access to the authenticated digital identity by the smart device.
