Abstract
An embodiment of a method of providing identity services includes receiving identity data from an identity user, the identity data related to an identity of the identity user; receiving validation data from an identity provider, the validation data related to the identity data; if the validation data indicates that the identity data is valid, generating a transaction to store data related to the identity of the identity user on a blockchain of a blockchain system, the data to be stored including a representation of at least one of: the identity data, or the validation data; and transmitting the transaction to at least one distributed node of the blockchain system. An embodiment of a method of providing an identity score includes receiving an identity score request for an identity user from an identity score requestor; executing a read to at least one distributed node of a blockchain system to retrieve data related to one or more identities of the identity user stored on a blockchain of the blockchain system; for each of the one or more identities, determining a weight; and determining the identity score as a function of the weights for each of identities.
