Abstract

Connected computing enables the use of highly diverse environments that support operating frameworks for contemporary civilization. But computing productivity and trustworthiness are undermined by such environments' largely inchoate organization. These environments and their identity infrastructures are fragmented, and unnecessarily unreliable, insecure, and insufficiently informative due to current computing entity (e.g., resource) identification infrastructure design, which lacks root identification reliability. Such reliability is enabled herein by a fundamentally accurate and authenticity ensuring, near-existential or existential quality, biometrically and liveness based, portable identification and provenance infrastructure. Such an infrastructure provides ubiquitously available identification information that can be used universally for identification processes. Such biometrically and liveness-based identification information can be contemporaneously acquired and securely fused with or otherwise bound to associated entity identification information sets. Such sets are used to identify and assess entity suitability and/or authenticity, and/or establish user identity (specific human entity) for personal, societal, and organizational activities.
