Abstract: An automated system for the confirmed efficient authentication of an anonymous subscriber's profile data. The system is comprised of software/hardware interface to facilitate centralized access and exchange to easily and inexpensively allow the confirmed authentication of subscriber profiles of customers wishing to blind their transactions, while maintaining current services. In one aspect the system allows a subscriber to anonymously accomplish credit card transactions without associating any aspect of the transaction with any information associated with the true identity of the subscriber.

Abstract: The anonymity of a consumer is protected in mailing and shipping transactions by utilizing an alias. A secure database is utilized to retrieve the true name and address for making mail delivery or shipment. The true name and address may be retrieved by the shipper during transit, by a disguised mailing center, or by a mail distributor. The anonymous mailing and shipping transactions may include anonymous payment transactions, such as payments made from an anonymous credit card account.

Abstract: An anonymous transaction by a first party is accommodated without revealing the real identity of the first party by utilizing an alias. The alias is transmitted by a second party to the transaction to a secure database for authentication. Data is retrieved from the database based on the transmitted alias and analyzed, and an indication of authorization is returned to the second party. The alias may be a name, an alphanumeric identifier, or the like. The first party may be a child under the age of majority, and the transaction may include the use of a credit, debit, or prepaid card.

Abstract: An anonymous transaction including payment with a card by a first party is accommodated without revealing the real identity of the first party by utilizing an alias. The alias is transmitted by a second party to the transaction to a secure database for authentication. Data is retrieved from the database based on the transmitted alias and analyzed, and an indication of authorization is returned to the second party. The alias may be a name, an alphanumeric identifier, or the like. For credit card transactions, an alias account for a credit cardholder is associated with a first credit card and identifies the cardholder with an alias identity; a primary account for the credit cardholder is associated with a second credit card and identifies the cardholder with the cardholder's real identity; and a secure database links the two accounts for carrying out credit card processing functions.
