Abstract:
Identity management is disclosed that allows authentication of a user for a third party by way of an encrypted token. A biometric signature can be requested for a user of a user device. In response, an encrypted token can be generated based at least in part on the biometric signature. The encrypted token can then be provided back to the user device, which can save the encrypted token to a secure location on the user device accessible by biometric authentication of the user on the user device. An authentication request can be provided from a third party which includes an encrypted token. A determination can be made regarding whether user identity can be confirmed based on the encrypted token. An indication of whether the user identity was confirmed or unconfirmed can then be communicated in response to the authentication request.
