System and method of authenticating a user's identifying information for improving security in the context of buyer/seller transactions. A user submits identifying information through a registration website and system. The system sends the user's mobile device a code. The user returns the code via the website, the system confirms the code and records confirmation of the mobile device. The user submits additional identifying information which is checked by the registration system administrators and/or automatically verified by software. The user is recorded as authenticated if both their mobile device and additional identifying information are determined to be authentic and meet all predetermined standards. Interested parties may be notified of such authentication. The registration website allows pairs of authenticated users to connect and sends each member a verifying code and the other's photograph so that users may view and check these materials before and at any eventual in-person meeting. |
