Abstract:
Described is a system and methods for registering and acquiring e-credentials using personal devices and an identity registry system that combines the method for handling digital seals with a proof-of-existence method. The identity registry system is used to register and verify e-credentials. Device owners register their e-credentials when created and updated, and verify acquired e-credentials to safeguard against tampering and errors. When registering an e-credential, the e-credential is hashed and digitally sealed creating an identifying thumbprint that is stored in the identity registry system. When verifying an acquired e-credential, the e-credential is hashed, the identity registry system is searched to locate the identifying thumbprint, and the digital seal of the thumbprint is verified. A requesting owner can request an issuing owner to proof, attest, and digitally seal an e-credential of the requester. Both the issuer and requester use the identity registry system to verify e-credentials acquired from the other party.

Claim (Index 3):
The method for registering and acquiring e-credentials as in  claim 2  further comprised of:\n the issuer, having received an e-credential of the requester and personally identifying information of the requester, an e-credential request, verifying the registration of the received e-credential of the requester, if said e-credential is registered in the identity registry system using the personally identifying information of the requester to proof the identity of the requester, if identity proofing of the requester is successful selecting an e-credential of the issuer, using said e-credential of the issuer and the method for handling digital seals to affix a digital seal of the issuer to the e-credential of the requester yielding a digitally sealed e-credential of the requester, registering said digitally sealed e-credential of the requester in the identity registry system using said e-credential of the issuer, verifying that said e-credential of the requester is registered in the identity registry system, and issuing said digitally sealed e-credential of the requester to the requester; whereby the issuer registers the digitally sealed e-credential of the requester in the identity registry system and issues the digitally sealed e-credential to the requester.
