Method and system for creating a derived electronic identity from an electronic main identity

摘要

The method involves assembling an authenticated data connection between a data carrier, on which the main identity (20) comprising a key pair from a public key and a private key is stored, and another data carrier for storing the derived identity (30). Another key pair from another public key and another private key and a certificate of the derived identity are stored on the latter data carrier. The former data carrier or the latter data carrier is particularly a smart card or a Universal serial bus (USB)token (3). An independent claim is included for a system for generating an electronic identity derived from an electronic main identity.
