ACCESS TOKEN FOR A VERIFIABLE CLAIM

Abstract:

Authorizing access to a verifiable claim so that a user who is the subject of the verifiable claim need not actively authorize the access. An access token is generated that is configured to provide access to a verifiable claim that was previously issued on behalf of a user that is the subject of the verifiable claim. The access token is then provided to an entity that is to be given access to the verifiable claim. The access token is next received from the entity when the entity attempts to access the verifiable claim and is validated. Finally, the entity is provided with access to the verifiable claim upon validation of the access token without the user having to actively authorize the access.
