Welcome! Reliable Identities, a registered enrollment agent, is
sponsoring your Provisional Certificate enrollment. Let's
go over the steps by which you'll establish your reliable identity and
the privacy protection mechanism called MyOwnInformation that will
enable you to control the use of personal information that is
associated with your new identity credential.
-
First,
we'll create something called a "Provisional Certificate," a digital
certificate that contains only your email address.
-
If you don't already have an OpenID we'll create one for you.
-
Since
we'll be assisting you in establishing your claim of ownership of
information about yourself, we will need a license from you to use some
of that information in the process. After all, it's your information,
not ours, and we need your permission to use it. (Shouldn't everyone
treat your information that way?) So after we create your Provisional
Certificate we'll create your Personal Nondisclosure Agreement.
-
Then we'll digitally sign your PersonalNDA.
-
Ownership
of information is accomplished with two legal devices: copyright and
trade secret. Since copyright law covers collections of information
called "works," your information will take the form of an
autobiographical reference work, a collection of facts about yourself,
starting with a few items of information that will be requested (under
NDA) today.
-
We will ask you some questions that will substantiate your claim of identity.
-
After
you successfully answer those questions we will create a second
certificate, an identity certificate that can be relied upon by those
who need to know that you are really who you say you are.
-
Your
identity certificate will be stored in your browser. Since Osmio never
obtains private keys, we will give you instructions on how to make a
backup copy of the key that goes with your identity certificate.
So our first step will be to get you a Provisional Certificate.
