Systems and methods for providing block chain or distributed ledger-based entity identity and relationship verification

摘要

Block chain/distributed ledger-based verification of entity identity or verification of a relationship between two or more entities may be provided. Verification addresses may be established on a block chain/distributed ledger by: associating identifiers and verifiers with entities having previously verified entity identities or having previously verified relationship(s) with other entities, assigning verification addresses on a block chain/distributed ledger to the entities, and recording entity identifier(s), identity verifier data and relationship verifier data associated with the entities at corresponding verification addresses. Embodiments for block chain/distributed ledger-based verification of entity identity and/or verification of entity's relationship to related entity(ies) using the verification addresses are performed using one or more identity verifiers and/or one or more relationship verifiers.
