Abstract
A system for storing and managing secure information is disclosed that includes a secure identity and profiling system, which serves as a middleman between a user and an entity requesting personally identifiable information (PII) from the user. The system collects the PII from the user and stores it securely, such as in an alternate blockchain in an encrypted form. The location of the that PII within the alternate blockchain may be indexed using smart contracts in a main blockchain that can only be read with an access token generated and supplied by the user's mobile device. When an entity requests PII from the user that has already been collected and securely stored, the user can provide permission to release that PII by providing the access token. The system will use the access token to locate where the PII is stored and release the PII to the requesting entity.
