Abstract

Disclosed are techniques that use devices with corresponding identity wallet applications that execute on an electronic processor device of the devices, and which identity wallets store identity information and encrypt the stored identity information. A distributed ledger system, and a broker system that interfaces to the wallet and the distributed ledger are used for various information exchange cases pertaining to access to facilities. In particular, disclosed is a registration process to register an identity wallet with a facility.

Claims (33)

1. A method comprises:

listening by a user device for a beacon from a security system, the beacon including a message;

initiating in response to the beacon message by the user device a transaction with a security application with the transaction including a request from the security application to send a user public key stored in a user wallet to the security application;

requesting by the user wallet from a security wallet of the security system an access code having a facility public key and a universal identifier;

testing the facility public key and identifier to determine whether they are legitimate;

sending by the user wallet a user profile corresponding the user associated with the user device to the security server when the public key and identifier are determined to be legitimate; and

storing the facility public key and universal identifier on the user device, with the user device being now registered with the security server.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

storing the transaction in a distributed ledger system that is a sequential transaction database that comprises plural distributed database systems and network interface device that stores records of personally identifiable information.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the user public key is embedded in a code.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the security access code having the embedded facility public key is in a matrix barcode.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the facility public key and facility universal identifier are specific to a single physical facility.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the universal identifier is based on a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) identifier standard that uses a 128-bit value.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

producing a user identity in the distributed ledger system based on the user's received profile information, by the security system producing the user identity and sending the produced user identity to the distributed ledger, along with the received public key and a user type.

8. A system comprises:

a security system that executes a security application, the security system comprising a processor and memory configured to:

send a beacon with the beacon including a beacon message;

receive from a user device that received the beacon message, a request to initiate a transaction with the security application;

send by the security application in response to the transaction request a request to send a user public key stored in a user wallet to the security application;

receive a request from the user wallet from a security wallet of the security system the security system credentials;

send the security system credentials including an access code having a facility public key and a universal identifier;

receive from the user wallet a user profile comprising user credentials corresponding the user associated with the user device; and

store the user credentials from the user device to register the user device with the security server.

9. The system of claim 8 further configured to:

store the transaction in a distributed ledger system that is a sequential transaction database that comprises plural distributed database systems and network interface device that stores records of personally identifiable information.

10. The system of claim 8 wherein system receives the user public key is embedded in a code.

11. The system of claim 10 wherein the code is a matrix barcode.

12. The system of claim 8 further configured to:

testing whether the user is registered with the system.

13. The system of claim 12 wherein when the user is not registered, the system is further configured to:

produce a user identity based on the user's received profile information; and

send by the security system the produced user identity to the distributed ledger, along with the received public key and a user type.
