Systems and methods for provisioning digital identities to authenticate users

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for use in providing digital identities for users. One exemplary method includes receiving, at a card device, an authentication request and a captured first biometric of the user, from a communication device associated with the user, and comparing the first biometric and a first biometric reference at the card device, when the first biometric reference is stored in at the card device. The method also includes capturing, at the card device, a second biometric of the user and comparing the second biometric to a second biometric reference stored at the card device. The method further includes compiling a response to the authentication request including a first indicator associated with the comparison of the first biometric to the first biometric reference and a second indicator associated with the comparison of the second biometric to the second biometric reference, and transmitting the response to the communication device.
