Abstract: A system and method to enable a person to interact in both a physical world and an electronic world and enable a person to make Identity Protected Secured Purchases (IPSP) is described. The system includes a blank card containing an encoded strip, a password, a wireless communication device (cell phone with two-way satellite communication), and a server that delivers purchase approvals. The assigned blank card contains encoded information exclusive to the client that when presented, allows the retailer to request purchase approval from the server. The password is a series of numbers known only by the client. The assigned wireless communication device transmits its EIN (exclusive to the client) to the server and allows the client to input their password. The server includes a matching process that matches information from the client's blank card, password and, wireless communication device with information from retailers and other hosts that warrant the purchase approval.

Abstract: The method and system of the present invention provides a central location, such as the United States Postal Service® (USPS), a product that will advance them into the world of internet business and will in turn offer the opportunity for new sources of revenue. The method and system of the present invention has the facilities to verify a person's and/or businesses identity. The verification process can be done in the same manner as money order, check cashing and real P.O. boxes, which are currently limited to availability in the post office. If the user is verified at the central location, the user's e-mail address, domains, ISP, WSP, and Web Sites can be globally registered at one or more e-mail servers or service providers that participate with the verification. The e-mail server or service providers can attach a symbol of the identity verification on all e-mail sent by the e-mail server or service provider from the verified customer.
