Systems and methods for managing digital identities associated with users

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for managing digital identities in multiple regions, through multiple identity providers, while providing for policy enforcement in connection with the digital identities. One exemplary method includes receiving, at an identity and access management hub (IAMH) in a first region, a request related to a digital identity from a secondary hub disposed in a second region and checking a policy associated with the digital identity. In response, the IAMH solicits at least one claim from a user, at a relying party application and/or website, based on the request and provides the at least one claim to a value-added service associated with the IAMH for verification of the at least one claim. The IAMH then transmits a result of the verification to the relying party associated with the request and provides a token, in response to the request, to a secure resource associated with the relying party.
