SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING SECURE ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT STORAGE, RETRIEVAL AND USE WITH ELECTRONIC USER IDENTITY VERIFICATION

摘要

Systems and methods for efficient and timely electronic new user authentication in a digital mailbox system using a sliding scale approach to include one or more identity authentication systems as appropriate for system security needs are provided. The system first obtains new user name and address data. Because the address is an important data point, the system first verifies the address before expending the resources of an identity data search. If the address is valid, the system calls an identity verification system and provides an identity quiz to the user based upon additional identity verification data. If the user passes the quiz, then a new account is setup and any other systems users having an account at that address are notified.
