A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12003643B2) outlines a method and system for secure access to content associated with a relying party system. The method involves obtaining two Quick Response (QR) codes, one generated by the relying party system and the other a dynamic QR code based on a session identifier. These QR codes are scanned by a second user device to verify session IDs and grant access to the requested content. The system includes a first user device, a second user device, and the relying party system, all part of a trusted decentralized system, potentially an identity blockchain.

The innovative approach involves the generation and verification of QR codes to establish secure access to content. The first QR code contains metadata indicating a digital address associated with the relying party system, while the second QR code is dynamic and based on the session ID. By scanning and comparing these QR codes, the system ensures authorized access to the content. Additionally, the system allows for the embedding of session IDs into QR codes, further enhancing security measures. The method and system described in the patent offer a robust and efficient way to manage access to content within a trusted decentralized system, potentially revolutionizing secure content access protocols in various industries.
