Your Reliable™ OpenID™ provides new authenticity and accountability.

...and that's just the start.

Use your Reliable™ OpenID™ to sign messages and files, and to receive encryped messages and files. Among your friends and colleagues, this can be very valuable. Every time they see something from you, they'll know it's really you.

Identity can also be proven to strangers. But let's face it, your new identity credential attests only to the fact that you can receive messages at a particular email address. To bid on a big yacht in an online auction, you'll probably need better proof of identity.

Or perhaps you just want to know that people in an online chat room with your young children are who they say they are. You'll want the identity of everyone in that room to have been established in a face-to-face process.

If your relying parties require a higher level of identity verification, your provisional identity certificate will serve as the starting point for the process of generating a Val-ID™ certificate or a or Digital Birth Certificate™

When you upgrade your Reliable™ OpenID™ to higher identity quallity standards, you'll receive another benefit: your Personal Information Ownership Infrastructure  truly puts you in control of the use of information about yourself.
