Abstract
The invention here is a website addressing false profiles confronting online personal social networking systems via an indirect authentication system that relies on existing, scrutinized profiles which in turn acknowledge the authentication of a remote profile under scrutiny. The user'"'"'s intimate knowledge of their social network enhances effectiveness. System allows registrants to create a profile and obtain a social identity code as a public identifier. The system integrates a virtual wallet to synthesize their online profiles and registrant controls access to it. The user may offer those profiles to be acknowledged by their connections. Once acknowledged, a hyperlink to the acknowledger'"'"'s profile is created for cross referencing. The system offers an “authenticity index” for users to base their own verification needs. The scrutinizing party can thus make their own “gut-check” determination of the profile. Registrants can then create secure communities for exclusive networking.
