System and Method for Identity Management

Some implementations may provide a machine-assisted method for determining a trustworthiness of a requested transaction, the method including: receiving, from a relying party, a request to determine a trustworthiness of a particular transaction request, the transaction request initially submitted by a user to access data managed by the relying party; based on the transaction request, summarizing the particular transaction request into transactional characteristics, the transactional characteristics devoid of source assets of the transaction, the source assets including credential information of the user, the credential information of the relying party, or information content of the requested transaction; generating first machine-readable data encoding transactional characteristics of the underlying transaction as requested, the transactional characteristics unique to the particular transaction request; submitting a first inquiry at a first engine to determine an access eligibility of the user submitting the transaction request, the first inquiry including the credential information of the submitting user, as well as the summarized transactional characteristics that is applicable only once to the underlying transaction request; and receiving the access eligibility determination from the first engine.
