Abstract
A method and system for allowing a secure transaction system (STS) that includes an access system in communication with a network access provider (NAP) identification module to convey to a third party trusted persistent identification details relating to a customer computer station. A user identification request including a set of generally available persistent and transient IDs is received from the third party. The NAP ID module is requested to extract persistent IDs and information associated with the customer computer station and to verify the transient IDs of the customer computer station. The information is received from the NAP ID module and forwarded at least in part back to the third party.
