The Problem : With the growing popularity of online
dating, more and more people are asking: how do I
know you are who you say you are? Also with the
popularity of online peer-to-peer transactions, like
the ones at Craigslist or eBay, it is more important
then ever to establish that both parties are reliable.
Existing Solutions : One of the main issues is that
identity validation services rely on public records.
These services typically ask users to provide some
personal information, based on which they access
public records available for that person. All of the
public records are available online for everybody to
search and see. Now, if somebody wanted to pretend
to be another person, how can we really know that the
person is indeed authentic based on such a validation?
Our Solution: Do not rely on public records , but uses
real-time strong authentication of previously enrolled
person to present his credentials (driver's license
image) to another person. The process may be
repeated in reverse ,so that at the end, both persons
identities are verified.
The solution uses Skype for person-to-person, online
video call and Internet Browser for displaying driver's
licence image in real-time.
