Abstract
Systems and methods described herein may generate a temporary location-associated cryptographic identification code (which can be used to uniquely identify the user) based on detection of the user at the associated location. As an example, such systems and methods allow for the user to be identified (e.g., as part of an authentication process) when the user visits a location without having to share personally identifiable information with any other users or computing systems at the location. Additionally, or alternatively, such systems and methods enable the practical use of shorter cryptographic identification codes as a primary identifier (or sole identifier) at the location for retrieving data related to the user (e.g., by avoiding or mitigating collision or security risks typically associated with short identifiers).
