Methods, apparatus and system for identification verification

This invention describes a system for verifying someone's identity using a blockchain. A person provides their identification documents to a trusted verifier, who checks them and then records a public confirmation of that person's identity on a shared digital ledger. The actual sensitive documents are kept private, but their digital fingerprints and some related data are used in the process.

Why it matters: Filed before enterprise blockchain solutions for regulated identity services matured. The infrastructure for secure, private data handling on distributed ledgers has advanced, aligning with evolving digital identity standards.
