Abstract: A secure token access distributed database system to provide verification of someone's or something's identity quickly and securely is provided, wherein such database and system is readily scalable from local to nationwide to worldwide use. The system specifically addresses the use of an authenticated user identification (ID) where any accepted authentication scheme can be employed in combination with a number of secure enabled databases connected by any means, including LAN, WAN, Internet, and dedicated lines, to provide value-added data in real-time at the main point of security contact. Furthermore, the instant invention provides a concept by which a potentially unlimited number of secure enabled databases containing various kinds of data potentially useful to a requesting entity, are either connected by some network means, or exposed to the Internet through a secure connection. Data transfer may also be bi-directional.
