Abstract

A method of establishing a digital identity for use of an online service and of subsequently using the digital identity to perform the online service is described. A digital identity for the online service is bound to computer hardware associated with the digital identity. A user associated with the digital identity provides a user authentication at the computer hardware associated with the digital identity. The digital identity is enrolled for the online service, and a first instance of the online service for the digital identity is performed. A common user authentication process result completes enrolment of the digital identity and authenticates the digital identity for performing said first instance of the online service.
