Abstract
An automated process is disclosed for improving the functionality of computer systems and electronic commerce in user identity-proofing. Steps include verifying that a user who is electronically seeking identity proofing is on an electronic directory of persons eligible for such identity proofing; creating an attest list for the user that includes associates who can vouch for his or her identity; collecting a video or other data from the user; sending the video or data to the associates and asking them for a confirmation or a disavowal of the identity of the user; deriving a biometric from the video or data upon receiving the confirmation; and saving the biometric as an identity-proofed biometric.
