Identification and information exchange system and registry

A system for secure digital transactions, comprising:

• (a) a memory;
• (b) at least one processor connected with the memory and configured to perform the steps of:
• (1) creating, encrypting, and digitally signing a message;
• (2) creating an exchange record on a registry prior to validating the exchange record, the exchange record including a first user identifier, a second user identifier, the encrypted message, and a first user digital signature, wherein each of said first user identifier and second user identifier are arbitrary identifiers having no relevance or association with personal identifiers of a user;
• (3)one of validating and not validating the exchange record;
• (4) decrypting the message if the exchange record is validated;
• (5) creating a verification record on the registry, the verification record including the second user identifier, the first user identifier, the encrypted message, and a second user digital signature;
• and
• (6) combining the exchange and verification records to create a completed transaction, wherein the completed transaction is used by a third user to determine the trustworthiness of either the first or second user.

At least one non-transitory computer readable storage media having executable instructions stored thereon that when executed by a computer processor perform the steps of:

• (a) creating, encrypting, and digitally signing a message;
• (b) creating an exchange record on a registry prior to validating the exchange record, the exchange record including a first user identifier, a second user identifier, the encrypted message, and a first user digital signature, wherein each of said first user identifier and second user identifier include arbitrary identifiers having no association with personal identifiers of a user;
• (c) one of validating and not validating the exchange record;
• (d) decrypting the message if the exchange record is validated;
• (e) creating a verification record on the registry, the verification record including the second user identifier, the first user identifier, the encrypted message, and a second user digital signature;
• and
• (f) combining the exchange and verification records to create a completed transaction, wherein the completed transaction is used by a third user to determine the trustworthiness of either the first or second user.

A system for completing and maintaining secure digital transactions, comprising:

• (a) at least one database having a registry for storing exchange and verification records;
• (b) at least one processor coupled to said at least one database;
• (c) at least one completed transaction on said registry, including:
• (1) an exchange record, said exchange record created by said processor and including a first user identifier, a second user identifier, an encrypted message, and a first user digital signature, wherein each of said first user identifier and second user identifier include arbitrary identifiers having no association with personal identifiers of a user;
• and
• (2) a verification record, said verification record created by said processor and including the second user identifier, the first user identifier, the encrypted message of said exchange record, and a second user digital signature, wherein the completed transaction is used by a third user to determine the trustworthiness of either the first or second user;
• and
• (d) at least one incomplete transaction on said registry, including:
• an exchange record, said exchange record created by said processor and including a first user identifier, a second user identifier, an encrypted message, and a first user digital signature, wherein each of said first user identifier and second user identifier include arbitrary identifiers having no association with personal identifiers of a user.
