Abstract
Methods of determining whether to trust an entity before sharing information with the entity, as well as methods of verifying whether to trust information received from an entity, are disclosed. In the processes, two entities, referred to as a holder and a verifier, desire to engage in an exchange of digital information. Before the holder will share information with the verifier, the holder will determine whether the verifier is a trusted entity. Before the verifier trusts information that it receives from the holder, it will examine a proof that it received from the holder to determine whether the proof includes information from or about a trusted third party referred to as an issuer. Information from an identity authority may be used in each of these verification steps.
