Systems and methods relating to digital identities

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for use in responding to attribute queries related to identifying information for a user. One exemplary method includes receiving a request for an identity code for a user associated with identifying information, where the identifying information includes multiple attributes of the user, and generating the identity code and transmitting it to a communication device associated with the user, thereby permitting the user to present the identity code to a requesting party. The method then includes receiving an identity request from the requesting party including the identity code and at least one query related to at least one of the multiple attributes of the user, identifying the user based on the identity code, compiling a response to the at least one query based on the identifying information of the user at one or more attributed providers, and transmitting the response back to the requesting party.
