Cryptographically transmitting and storing identity tokens and/or activity data among spatially distributed computing devices
Aspects of the disclosure relate to a system and method for cryptographically transmitting and storing identity tokens and/or activity data among spatially distributed computing devices. The system may comprise a plurality of chains, such as an identity chain and an activity chain. In some aspects, identity data associated with a user may be used to generate an identity token for the user. The identity token may be transmitted to a plurality of computing devices for verification. Based on a verification of the identity token, the identity token may be stored in the identity chain. A request to perform an activity may also be received, and identity data associated with the user may be received in order to authenticate the user.

receiving, by a computing device, a request associated with a user to perform an activity;
in response to receiving the request associated with the user to perform the activity, requesting, by the computing device, identity data associated with the user;
receiving, by the computing device, the identity data associated with the user;
generating, by the computing device and based on the identity data associated with the user, an identity token for the user;
in response to authenticating, by the computing device, the user based on the identity token, generating, by the computing device, an activity token for the user;
transmitting, by the computing device and to a plurality of other computing devices, the activity token for the user;
determining, by the computing device, a number of computing devices, of the plurality of other computing devices that verified the activity token;
based on a determination that the number of computing devices is above a threshold number of computing devices, storing, by the computing device, the activity token for the user in an activity chain, wherein the activity token for the user indicates a prior activity token stored in the activity chain; and
transmitting, by the computing device and to the plurality of other computing devices, an indication of the storing the activity token.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

8. A computing device comprising:
a processor; and
memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to:
receive a request associated with a user to perform an activity;
in response to receiving the request associated with the user to perform the activity, request identity data associated with the user;
receive the identity data associated with the user;
generate, based on the identity data associated with the user, an identity token for the user;
in response to authenticating the user based on the identity token, generate an activity token for the user;
transmit, to a plurality of other computing devices, the activity token for the user;
determine a number of computing devices, of the plurality of other computing devices that verified the activity token;
based on a determination that the number of computing devices is above a threshold number of computing devices, store the activity token for the user in an activity chain, wherein the activity token for the user indicates a prior activity token stored in the activity chain; and
transmit, to the plurality of other computing devices, an indication of the storing the activity token.
9. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the memory stores computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the computing device to
determine previous activities performed by the user; and
determine a level of activity for the user based on the previous activities.
10. The computing device of claim 9 , wherein the activity token is generated based on a determination that the activity meets the level of activity.
11. The computing device of claim 9 , wherein the computing device and the plurality of other computing devices form a network of trusted computing devices.
12. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the activity token is generated by cryptographically combining previous activity data associated with the user.
13. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the memory stores computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the computing device to:
encrypt the activity token.
14. The computing device of claim 13 , wherein the memory stores computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the computing device to:
transmit, to the plurality of other computing devices, a corresponding public key.
15. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the computing device and the plurality of other computing devices form a network of trusted computing devices.
16. A system comprising:
