Patent attributes
A validating device receives, from a client device associated with a user, a representation for a first credential associated with the user. The validating device validates the representation for the first credential associated with the user based on data derived from the representation for the first credential associated with the user and identification data associated with the validating device. The validating device obtains a first set of data associated with the user and a second set of data associated with the user. The second set of data is different from the first set of data. The first set of data is obtained based on verifying the identification data associated with the validating device. Obtaining the second set of data is independent of verifying the identification data associated with the validating device.
