Services for trust conveyances of entities can be provided and managed. In connection with a transaction between first and second devices, a trust management component (TMC) can indicate trust levels of entities associated with the devices with regard to the transaction and/or an action attempted by an entity. With regard to an action attempted by the first entity, the trust level of the first entity can be evaluated to determine whether it is high enough to allow the action to proceed or to have the second entity respond to the action accordingly. If it is not high enough, the second entity, using the second device, can request a trust conveyance from the first entity via the TMC. The TMC can adjust the respective trust levels based on the outcome(s) of the action(s) of the respective entities with regard to executing the transaction.

One embodiment of the invention provides for making electronic payments by scanning a merchant 2D code located near the point of sale with the customer's cell phone and transmitting the code or data embodied by the code to a payment center where the merchant's account can be credited and the customer's account debited without transmitting account information over the airwaves. In another embodiment of the invention, both parties transmit the same randomly generated 2D code or data embodied by the code to the payment center where they are matched to each other and to the buyer and seller to process the transaction. In a further embodiment of the invention, an inked tattoo or barcode marking is employed as a password to authorize access to smartphone applications for example, to make an electronic payment over a threshold amount.

The usage of money has been always abused for financial crime. The invention of cryptocurrency on Blockchain did not change that since the ownership essentially remained anonymous. The present invention deals with the programmatic parameterization of cryptocurrency Smart Contracts to include the binding between the user's cryptocurrency transaction and user's Identity, thus creating “permissioned” crypto-token transfer. Such binding has advantageous properties as being resilient to any form of financial crime, preventing cryptocurrency theft, and precluding “bad actors” from using this cryptocurrency. The system for Identity-Bound Cryptocurrency Transfer (IBCT) will include IBCT Blockchain Smart Contract, IBCT Blockchain Oracle Smart Contract, and off-chain Identification-as-a-Service for the IBCT owner using dedicated CryptoWallet for executing IBCT Smart Contract. The Financial crime-preventive usage of cryptocurrency is achieved through user-opted, while pseudonymous, binding of the user's Blockchain public address with the user's identity. This Financial crime-preventive usage of cryptocurrency is facilitated via a specialized crypto wallet.
