Abstract
In general, one innovative aspect of the subject matter described in this specification may be embodied in methods that may include verifying a digital identification using embedded encrypted user credential data that is not viewable to human eyes within the digital identification. For instance, the embedded encrypted user credential data may be variably encrypted by an encryption key that is designated by a security status assigned to the digital identification. The embedded encrypted user credential data may be extracted using an authorized device and decrypted using a decryption key that is associated with the encryption key designated by the security status. The decrypted user credential data may then be used to verify user information included in the digital identification.
