Digital vehicle identity network
Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for receiving, by an identity network and from a verifying entity, a query including an identifier that uniquely identifies an entity that is active in the mobility network and an attestation that is to be authenticated, resolving, by the identity network, the query to provide a resolved query, the resolved query including the attestation, resolving at least partly including identifying a data source of a plurality of data sources that is to be queried to authenticate the attestation, transmitting, by the identity network, the resolved query to the data source, receiving, by the identity network, a response to the resolved query, and transmitting, by the identity network, the response to the verifying entity.
1. A computer-implemented method for authenticating attestations in a mobility network, the method being executed by one or more processors and comprising:
receiving, by an identity network and from a verifying entity, a query to authenticate an attestation, the query comprising an identifier that uniquely identifies an entity that is active in the mobility network and the attestation that is to be authenticated, the identity network being a bridge between multiple issuing authorities that issue attestation and multiple verifying entities;
resolving, by the identity network, the query to provide a resolved query, the resolved query comprising the attestation, resolving at least partly comprising identifying a data source of a plurality of data sources that is to be queried to authenticate the attestation,
wherein, resolving the query further comprises determining connection information corresponding to the identifier from a sub-governance framework of a set of sub-governance frameworks within the identity network,
wherein each sub-governance framework corresponds to an issuing authority that issues attestations representing activities within the mobility network, and
wherein the sub-governance framework includes Communications Business Automation Network (CBAN) governance framework, which supports shared services, distributed ledger systems, standardized terminology, and interoperable protocols;
transmitting, by the identity network, the resolved query to the data source;
receiving, by the identity network, a response to the resolved query; and
transmitting, by the identity network, the response to the verifying entity.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identity network stores a digital twin of the entity, the digital twin recording a history of the entity.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifier conforms to the vehicle identity (VID) standard.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data source comprises a distributed ledger system that records data associated with the attestation to authenticate the attestation.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifier comprises a decentralized identifier (DID) that is stored in a distributed ledger of the identity network.
6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations for authenticating attestations in a mobility network, the operations comprising:
receiving, by an identity network and from a verifying entity, a query to authenticate an attestation, the query comprising an identifier that uniquely identifies the entity that is active in the mobility network and the attestation that is to be authenticated, the identity network being a bridge between multiple issuing authorities that issue attestation and multiple verifying entities;
resolving, by the identity network, the query to provide a resolved query, the resolved query comprising the attestation, resolving at least partly comprising identifying a data source of a plurality of data sources that is to be queried to authenticate the attestation,
wherein resolving the query further comprises determining connection information corresponding to the identifier from a sub-governance framework of a set of sub-governance frameworks within the identity network;
wherein each sub-governance framework corresponds to an issuing authority that issues attestations representing activities within the mobility network, and
wherein the sub-governance framework includes Communications Business Automation Network (CBAN) governance framework, which supports shared services, distributed ledger systems, standardized terminology, and interoperable protocols;
transmitting, by the identity network, the resolved query to the data source;
receiving, by the identity network, a response to the resolved query; and
transmitting, by the identity network, the response to the verifying entity.
7. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the identity network stores a digital twin of the entity, the digital twin recording a history of the entity.
8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the identifier conforms to the vehicle identity (VID) standard.
9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the data source comprises a distributed ledger system that records data associated with the attestation to authenticate the attestation.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the identifier comprises a decentralized identifier (DID) that is stored in a distributed ledger of the identity network.
11. A system, comprising:
a computing device; and a computer-readable storage device coupled to the computing device and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations for authenticating attestations in a mobility network, the operations comprising:
receiving, by an identity network and from a verifying entity, a query to authenticate an attestation, the query comprising an identifier that uniquely identifies the entity that is active in the mobility network and the attestation that is to be authenticated, the identity network being a bridge between multiple issuing authorities that issue attestation and multiple verifying entities;
resolving, by the identity network, the query to provide a resolved query, the resolved query comprising the attestation, resolving at least partly comprising identifying a data source of a plurality of data sources that is to be queried to authenticate the attestation,
wherein resolving the query further comprises determining connection information corresponding to the identifier from a sub-governance framework of a set of sub-governance frameworks within the identity network;
wherein each sub-governance framework corresponds to an issuing authority that issues attestations representing activities within the mobility network, and
wherein the sub-governance framework includes Communications Business Automation Network (CBAN) governance framework, which supports shared services, distributed ledger systems, standardized terminology, and interoperable protocols;
transmitting, by the identity network, the resolved query to the data source;
receiving, by the identity network, a response to the resolved query; and
transmitting, by the identity network, the response to the verifying entity.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the identity network stores a digital twin of the entity, the digital twin recording a history of the entity.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the identifier conforms to the vehicle identity (VID) standard.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the data source comprises a distributed ledger system that records data associated with the attestation to authenticate the attestation.
