Abstract
Disclosed herein is an identity network that can provide a universal, digital identity for users that can be used to authenticate the user by an identity provider for relying parties to utilize for confirming the identity of the user during sign-up. The identity network receives a request from a relying party that includes deep linking to an identity provider selected by the user. The request specifies the user and any other information about the user the relying party is requesting. A service of the identity network launches the application for the identity provider on the user's device and the user logs into the identity provider's application, which provides the user authentication/validation and information about the user to the identity network. The identity network can then provide the information to the relying party, which the relying party can rely on for creating an account with the relying party for the user.
