Original Abstract Submitted

A digital wallet generates an identification value associated with a DID of a DID owner. The digital wallet generates a first request including the identification value for an authentication token from an identification provider. The first request is provided to the identification provider. The digital wallet receives, in response to the identification provider validating the first request, the authentication token that authenticates the digital wallet with a verifiable claim issuer including the identification value from the identification provider. The digital wallet generates a second request for one or more verifiable claims from the verifiable claim issuer. The second request includes the DID and authentication token including the identification value. In response to the verifiable claim issuer validating the authentication token and the identification value, one or more verifiable claims from the verifiable claim issuer are received by the digital wallet.
