Abstract

One embodiment provides a system and method for providing secure identity information. During operation, the system scans a graphic code associated with the service provider to obtain coded information; queries a registration platform based on the coded information to obtain an identifier of the service provider, an encryption key of the service provider, and a user-identity-information requirement associated with the service provider; obtains identity information of the user; obtains verified identity information from a verification source based on the identity information of the user; generates secure identity information for the user by encrypting, using the encryption key, at least the verified identity information, the secure identify information comprising the identifier of the service provider; and sends the secure identity information to the registration platform, thereby allowing the registration platform to forward the encrypted verified identity information to the service provider.
