Abstract:
A system and associated methods provide digital identity and strong authentication management services for Internet users. The system includes a central, cloud-based, online service, referred to as a central service, which can manage user accounts. The system also includes dedicated, always-on, always-connected, cryptographically unique devices, referred to as beacons, located within the physical residences of its users. The central service associates each beacon with the residence address of its user by physically sending a unique address verification code by postal mail to the user's residence. The user presents the unique code to the beacon, and the beacon cryptographically confirms its identity and the unique code sent to the residence address back to the central service. The beacons can attest to users' identities and provide seamless strong authentication to third-party online service providers on behalf of those users.

Claim (Index 19):
A method comprising:\n operating an online service configured to receive requests for access by a plurality of users to a plurality of third-party services; and for each user of the plurality of users:\n deploying a network-connected always-on cryptographic server in a residence of the user, wherein the cryptographic server has a cryptographic relationship established with the online service prior to the deploying; \n establishing a trusted connection between the deployed cryptographic server and the online service based on the pre-existing cryptographic relationship; \n sending a code by postal mail to the user at the residence; \n in response to the user presenting the mailed code to the cryptographic server, receiving a transmission by the cryptographic server at the online service; \n the online service validating the residence of the user in association with the cryptographic server based on the received transmission and based on the pre-existing cryptographic relationship; \n confirming an Internet-connected device by passing a registration code in a circuit including the online service, the cryptographic server and the Internet-connected device; \n in response to the confirming, the online service registering the Internet-connected device as associated with the user; \n the online service receiving a request for access by the user to a third-party service through the Internet-connected device; \n in response to the online service recognizing the Internet-connected device in association with the request for access, the online service connecting to the cryptographic server; and \n in response to at least the online service connecting to the cryptographic server, the cryptographic server providing to the online service information that the cryptographic server holds for the third-party service on behalf of the user.
