Method for managing and controlling data from different identity domains organised into a structured set

摘要

The invention relates to a method and system for managing and checking different identity data relating to a person. According to the invention, a derived-identity management server generates for the person at least part of the identity data with which said person can be authenticated in relation to a service provider for the derived-identity domain, on the basis of information derived from identity data from parent domains. The identity data generation processing ensures that no link can be established from two authentications in two separate domains in the absence of link information. If necessary, said link information is transmitted by a parent domain to a derived-identity server so that the latter establishes the link between the identity data of the derived-identity domain and the identity data of the parent domain, e.g. for the cascade revocation of a person from various domains.
