Establishing status of a user at a physical area

This invention describes a system for determining what a person can do or access in a specific physical location. It detects their mobile device, identifies them using a unique hash in a transaction, and then uses a blockchain credential from their device to securely check their permissions and the resources available in that area. This allows the system to establish their status, such as access rights, based on information stored on a blockchain.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread adoption of decentralized identity standards. The maturation of blockchain infrastructure and verifiable credential technologies since 2020 makes implementing secure access control more feasible.

Status: ExpiredProtection ended and was never renewed
How hard to build: SpecializedBlockchain software, secure credential management, cryptographic hashing.
