COLLECTING, AUTHENTICATING, AND USING PERSONAL DATA

摘要

A system for collecting, storing, authenticating, and managing personal information, such as identity data, skill data, qualification data, certification data, for individuals and/or organiza-tions. The system surely collects identity, skill, qualification, and certification data and enables the generation of a personal identification credential that can be used to securely authenticate the identity of an individual and, thereafter, retrieve skill, qualification, certification data, and/or other personal information for the individual. The system also enables an individual with an is-sued personal identification credential via third party verification to securely update personal in-formation, such as skills, qualifications, and certifications data for storage in a secure cloud data-base system.
