The internet has become an intrinsic part of our everyday life. We use it to
connect with friends, pay bills, shop, market our businesses, research for
school, you name it, it can probably be done online. This makes many of our
everyday activities more simple but does it come with a price?
When we interact online we are often interacting with friends and family or
directly with a company. However, there are many other avenues that require us
to interact with complete strangers. Online classifieds, auction houses and
dating sites, to name a few, provide great opportunities but also require us to
"trust" that those on the other end are who they say they are. Most of the times
they are, however, increasingly, many are finding out they are not.
When we are required to prove our identity in the world we often use various
forms of government issued identification like a passport or drivers license.
Banks will use your credit report or Social Insurance Number to confirm you are
who you say you are. But would we want to use these forms as proof when
confirming who we are online? Would you really want to share your credit report
with someone buying a stereo from you on Craigslist? Or would you ask for a
photocopy of a potential date's drivers license prior to meeting them for lunch?
Probably not. Many people may not even have these forms of id's especially the
most vulnerable, children. A solution that allows everyone the ability to
conduct safe online transactions and interaction is a significant need in
today's online world.
If someone says to you that they are John Doe, that doesn't prove much. But if 100+ people vouch that it's true. That takes much of the guesswork out of it!
Using today's social networks, you can prove your identity with the ultimate form of validation, your friends and family! Now you can state your name and have an entire network of people vouch for you, instantly, online.
