Abstract
Briefly, example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture are disclosed that may be implemented to represent an identity network corresponding to a communications device subscriber in an electronic or digital domain. The method may include transmitting a message to a communications device. Responsive to the transmitted message, an authenticator may receive a signal to verify that a subscriber having a real-world identity is co-located with the communications device. The method may continue with establishing, in an electronic or digital domain, two or more nodes of an identity network corresponding to aspects of the real-world identity of the subscriber, the identity network being attached to the real-world identity via a persistent identifier, and the two or more nodes of the identity network being linked via one or more relationships.
