Non-fungible token authentication

This invention describes a system for using special digital tokens, called non-fungible tokens (NFTs), to prove a user's identity for accessing restricted content or areas. A trusted organization first verifies a user's real-world identification, such as a passport or driver's license, and then creates a unique digital token linked to that user. When the user requests access, the system checks this digital token to confirm their identity and grant entry. The claims specifically detail the initial steps of obtaining and verifying identity credentials, including images of government IDs and a user's public key.
