Abstract: Our Names in physical and real world have transformed into ‘username’s in virtual digital world. Anything that we need to access in digital world asks us for a ‘username’, which can be user selected (like an e-mail address) or provided to a user (like an employee ID/Number). This ‘username’ has indeed become a SuperName, giving access to restricted areas, based on privileges, links to other services as well. So, to a cybercriminal, if a ‘username; is known, more than half the job is done. And once corresponding password is cracked, the whole digital identity lies threadbare. Damages done through transactions of such unauthorized access may get quantified, but dent to privacy is far more damaging.

Abstract: Certisafe is a novel Credential Authentication Process and System (CAPS), where a CertiSafe ID is generated once and only once the Issuer confirms the Authenticity of the Credential of a Candidate. This CertiSafe ID is a unique electronic ID, unique to the Candidate and also unique to the unique Credential, can be used repeatedly and endlessly in lieu of paper based copies that a Candidate usually submits to the Requestor through an application (physical/electronic). This method also purports to save precious paper and time for candidates each time they have to apply to an institution or an organization, by making redundant completely, the requirement of paper copies of the credentials and also their subsequent attestation. The verified credential, through CertiSafe ID, gives the Requesting organization the confidence of absorbing the right candidate and not a candidate with dubious credentials.
