Abstract

A network device accesses a server via a network to collect information from a user and to verify identification of the user. Financial information of the user is accessed from one or more sources other than the user. An indicator of financial responsibility is assigned to the user based on the collected information and the accessed financial information of the user. The indicator of financial responsibility is disclosed to other persons under conditions selected by the user by communicating the indicator of financial responsibility via the network to one or more network devices.
