The following projects articulate a development roadmap.
Identity Agents create sovereign and public copies of digital identities conforming with vCard 4.0. ECDHE is used for exchanging Public copies user-to-user while HTTPS is used for user-to-provider exchange.
Affiliated Users: Affiliated buyers, sellers, and agents in a business sector such as real estate share private, legal, and financial data. Identity agent owners create digital identities specifying identifying and contact data. Once public copies of digital identities are exchanged they are used to securely transfer data via email and SMS (text).
Credit Card Validation: Credit cards are used to validate digital identities. When subscribing to a service, a user submits a public copy of her digital identity and her credit card data to the service’s identity agent. If the credit card is successfully verified and the credit card comports with her digital identity, her public copy is attested, sealed, and used to log into the service.
Networking: A social network offers a digital identity template to members whose identity agents use the template to create branded digital identities. Once public copies of their digital identities are registered, they can use them to reliably log into the network. Members can also exchange public copies with other members to securely collaborate with one another.
Identity-Proofing: To renew a license, Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requires identifying documents. Drivers create digital DMV identities using a DMV-provided template. A renewing driver uses his digital DMV identity to log in and submit his identifying data. If successfully identity-proofed, a renewed digital DMV license is issued. Digital licenses enable drivers to update their data online.
Notarizing: Customers have digital identities for logging into a bank’s online system. To obtain a notarized copy of a document, a customer uses her digital identity to affix a digital seal to a selected document, and then submits it to the bank’s notary public. The notary verifies the digital seal and affixes his digital seal to notarize the document. The customer downloads the notarized document.
Delegating Consent: A web portal sharing bios, resumes and CVs is used by recruiters and consultants with digital identities. Consultants keep their biographic data current while recruiters promote in various markets. Recruiters send digitally sealed consent tokens to consultants who clear access with the portal enabling recruiters to obtain current biographic data.
