You aren't the first to wonder at their similarities;

y/

The linked-to Digital Identity site is effectively down now (and has been
for several years, according to the Internet Wayback Machine), but previous
versions show that "Digital Identity Technology is designed and built by
Ascio Technologies Inc.":

It might be worth checking in with them about a non-assertion covenant. If
you're looking to contact (either of) the inventors personally, O'Reilly
Media has a page on Nikolaj Nyholm:

This one looks promising because identity is mentioned. I also found a
LinkedIn page for one "Hans Hurvig", but other than the location
(Copenhagen) there's nothing to show that he's related to the Hans who
copatented an identity technology.
