Abstract
A machine has a processor and a memory storing instructions executed by the processor to issue a challenge in response to a first request, evaluate a response to the challenge to establish confirmation that the first request originated from a human user, issue a user identification in response to the confirmation, store the user identification with encrypted identity data, receive a second request that includes the user identification, and return the encrypted identity data in response to the second request.
