ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems for anonymity revocation, enabling a trusted entity to identify a user computer within an anonymous system. A system comprises an attester computer providing attestation value cert from a security module public key and an identifying value. The user computer having a module providing the module public key and a security module attestation value, the user computer providing a user public key, a user attestation-signature value derived from the attestation value cert, and an encryption computable under use of a trusted-entity public key and a module-generated-identifier value, the module-generated-identifier value relating to the identifying value; a verification computer verifying validity of received user attestation-signature value and the encryption; and a trusted entity having a trusted entity secret key, wherein the trusted entity is able to derive the module-generated-identifier value from the encryption, the module-generated-identifier value being usable to identify the user computer with the security module.
