Abstract
A self-enrollment and authentication method provides that, when a user logs onto a host computer and requests that the user'"'"'s physical identity be verified, a Unique User Identity (UUI) is created to identify the user on the host computer, and a Unique Code Phrase (UCP) is created which is linked with the user'"'"'s UUI. The UCP is recorded on a document which the user executes before a notary public averring that the user is an identified person. If upon review of the executed document, it is determined that the user'"'"'s identity has been verified, a Verified Physical Identity (VPI) is established and stored on the host computer and the user'"'"'s status is upgraded to entitled the user access to reserved privileges on the host computer.
