A technique allows a parentally attested security token to serve as authentication for a minor using identifying attributes of the minor child. The security token may include personally identifiable information about the child, a description of authorized activity as well as specifications of intended use of the security token. The security token may include provisions for authentication to be revoked by a parent or guardian and/or expire after a predetermined time. The security token may be stored inside a trusted execution environment of a portable computing device that may be carried by the minor and presented at physical locations where authentication is required.
