Flexible cyber-anonymity (full, none, and in-between) using a Provisional Identification Number (PIN)

Most of the information processing tools on the Internet today are a linear extrapolation of pre-Internet devices. Such are credit cards and payment solutions, document handling, access control, news reporting, gaming, and opinion surveys. This is the natural first step, which is characteristically followed by a fundamental re-evaluation of the new reality. The Internet is fast assuming the role of the town square: it's where we meet, work, shop, entertain, seek help, advice, gratification, and even loiter. And we need to redesign our tools for this activities from the ground up.

Doing our share of rethinking we have come up with a suite of Internet devices and tools for which we are now looking for partners in implementation, and for further development. We solicit comments and input from the community of fellow web surfers, would you stop by?

Status: The items here presented have all been functionally designed, patents filed (some granted, some pending). We started the road of implementation, anticipating an exciting journey.

PIN: Provisional Identification Number (Anonymity Management on the Internet)

The fundamental mistake of early Internet years is the underestimation of its abusers. The criminal element in our society fast realized the vulnerability of cyberlife, and today identity theft, cyber-rapes, online-fleecing, bit-money robbery, denial of access, up to total ruination of lives is rampant. Unwittingly we have chosen to identify ourselves online using personal immutable data (e.g.: date of birth, mother's madden name). Such data, once stolen, can not be negated. Fundamentally we should be known on the Internet by our provisional identification number, PIN, which we can change if compromised, replace when abused, stop privileges to, if lost. A provisional identification number will allow us to manage the exact degree of anonymity that we wish to project versus our cyber partner. This PINSuite is designed around this very idea: having the flexibility to manage anonymity from full to none, and anything in-between. This desire runs against the legitimate needs of modern Western society to weed out wrong doing that hides behind the blanket of cyber anonymity. The PINsuite solution methodology was developed by established computer security professionals (www.AGSencryptions.com), mindful of the need to balance the war on crime and the war on terror, with the opportunity of freedom and benign anonymity.
