Abstract
A method of identity attribute validation at a computer server involves the computer server receiving an identity attribute validation request from a communication terminal. The computer server further receives a credential, and is configured with an attribute disclosure profile of attributes authorized for disclosure to the communication terminal. The computer server determines the validity of the credential, and provides the communication terminal with a response to the identity attribute validation request based on an outcome of the credential validity determination. The attribute validation response includes attributes data associated with the credential authorized for disclosure by the attribute disclosure profile but excludes attributes data associated with the credential not authorized for disclosure by the attribute disclosure profile.
