Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods and systems to automatically respond to make a Super Identity by linking two identities and methods and systems to use the identities include a transaction authorization module that receives a request associated with a first identity record associated with a user, the request being for information associated with a second identity record. An identity linking module identifies that the second identity record is linked to the first identity record and retrieves the information associated with the second identity record. The transaction authorization module also generates a response including the information associated with the second identity, and transmits the response.
