Abstract

A method for login, including making a login request to an entity through a federation server that generates a session identifier. A QR code is sent to the federation server to receive the session identifier. A secure envelope including user personal information is sent to the federation server to verify user registration with the federation server. A login token generated by the federation server is received and is associated with a smart contract generated by the federation server and stored on a blockchain. The login token is signed using user private key and sent to the blockchain for inclusion in the smart contract. A transaction identifier is received from the blockchain, and is sent to the federation server that generates a session record based on the login token. The federation server sends user verification to the entity to authorize a communication session between the user device and the entity.
