Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for managing digital identities associated with users. One exemplary method includes receiving, at a computing device, an encrypted message from a communication device associated with a user where the messaging includes a changed attribute for the user. The method also includes generating a hash of a digital identity for the user with the changed attribute, generating a hash of the digital identity of the user stored in a ledger data structure, and transmitting a request for the user to attest to the changed attribute when the generated hashes do not match. The method then further includes broadcasting a pending status of the digital identity of the user to a relying party for the digital identity, and storing a certification of the changed attribute, received from the relying party in response to the pending status, based on verification of the changed attribute by the relying party.
