Abstract
A trusted certification authority service allows a user to control a combination or a subset of personal credentials associated with different trusted identities of the user to create a new identity that may be used by the user to entitle him to access or obtain a third party service. The copying and/or transfer of trust values (such as bank balances or loyalty points) between different trusted identities in order can maintain the anonymity of a person having one or more of said identities.
