Abstract

A computer-implemented method for managing a personal data store is described for binding one or more identities of different types associated with a user. The computer-implemented method is implemented in a trust system including one or more processing devices communicatively coupled to a network. The computer-implemented method includes receiving one or more self-asserted first attributes by the user and second attributes asserted by an Attribute Provider; utilizing one or more of the first attributes and the second attributes as inputs to obtain and/or produce one or more cryptographically signed attributes signed by an associated Attribute Provider; storing the first attributes, the second attributes, and the one or more cryptographically signed attributes in a personal data store associated with the user; and utilizing one or more of the first attributes, the second attributes, and the one or more cryptographically signed attributes to respond to a request from a Relying Party.
