One of the major advantages of “ Sign
on gold ” is that the possibility of
eliminating all other forms of individual identity
such as credit / debit cards, driving license, health
card, citizen cards, passport, visa , etc.
All the relevant information of the individual will
be available at all times at the individual’s
Global data base, which can be accessed from anywhere
in the world. The relevant information can be in
layers.
As an example say the individual goes to a doctor,
and he needs to show his health records to his doctor,
the individual will “Sign on gold” in
an earlier assigned pattern on say a pre-printed paper
given by the doctor (which can later become a form
of record / bill for the doctor ). The doctor can then
access the individual's global data base (general information
layer and health information layer only ).
If the doctor needs to enter new data / alter data
or transfer the individual's health data to his own
computer records etc the individual should have pre-enabled
the doctor by adding say a “ hash ” in
the above mentioned “ Sign on gold ”
.
The doctor himself may need to register his global
identity with the global data base before he
can make the alterations etc.,
It may also be possible for making special arrangements
to take care of opening an individuals health data
etc under special circumstances such as the individual
not being in position to “sign on gold”
in a specific given situation such as accident / unconscious
condition etc.
By way of another example say an individual arrives
at a given airport and needs to pass through immigration etc. all he
may have to do will be to “ Sign on gold ”
in pre-assigned pattern (along with a hash etc.) on say a pre-printed declaration form. Using this
and the specialized scanner etc., the immigration
authority can access his / her global data base (
general information & travel detail layer only
) and also be in a position to make automatic entries
/ transfer data to the say airport data base etc,
and pass the individual through immigration.
It is also possible that in some special cases based
on the individuals background given, there may be
need to go more thoroughly through that particular
individual's global data base, then the immigration
authority may ask the individual to open-up his /
her entire data base etc.,
Which is possible when the individual again “
Signs on gold ” in a pre-assigned manner (say
3 golden stripes with 3 signatures across it) to open-up
his / her entire data base etc.,. It may also be possible
to
Incorporate that in such special cases as given above,
The Individual who represents the immigration authority
needs to register himself with the global data base using his / her own
“
Sign on gold ”.
By way of another example, say an individual buys
some item and he needs to pay for it, the seller produces
a bill on which there is an appropriate place earmarked
for “ Sign on gold ”. The customer applies
the 2 stage “ Sign on gold ” in a pre-assigned
pattern, the general information layer only of the
individual’s global data base gets displayed
on the sellers monitor, where his financial status
for that transaction is given as valid or not valid.
When the transaction gets the valid signal the seller
( who will have the bill in the form of electronic
document on the sellers computer ) is able to attach
the signature of the buyer to that particular bill
and may be by attaching his / her own signature by
means of “ Sign on gold ” on another specific
portion of the same bill, will be able to automatically
transfer the bills value from the buyer’s account
to his / her account situated at the global data
bank in their respective individual data bases.
More examples of “ Sign on gold ” being
able to eliminate other forms of Individual identity
requirements are not given as they can be easily visualized
based on the few examples given above.
The concept of “ VIRTUAL WALLET ”
by using “ Sign on gold ”
With the “ Sign on gold ” in practice,
it is expected that every person empowered with the
same will be in position to carry with him / her at
all times and everywhere a pilfer-proof giant sized
“ wallet ” which will have compartments
to accommodate everything of value, acquired during
the entire lifetime. Example – starting from
say the parents details, marriage license of parents,
pre-natal health records, Birth certificate, schooling
certificates, sports certificates, college degrees,
Inheritance records etc., including cash, shares,
title-deeds, licenses, health records, work records,
travel records, financial records, purchase records
, expense records, tax records, insurance records,
marriage records, family records etc.,
There is every possibility of arranging these records
in the proper order for easy location and reference
as and when required / desired by the individual.
It will also be possible to have say a “ Virtual
Outer Enclosure ” for the above mentioned “Virtual
Wallet” for receiving incoming valuables etc.,
which can stay there till the individual decides to
Place the same inside the “ Wallet ”,
once placed inside nothing can come out of this or
seen by any one without the express consent of the
individual.
It can be further explained that movable and immovable
assets when created or demarcated (as in the case
of land etc.,) will have only one original document
to represent them, so that when a transaction is carried
out the original document representing that asset
will have to be removed from one individual’s
wallet to another individual’s wallet.
Here it can be explained the concept of assigning
every individual with global identity can also be applied to businesses
/ Corporate / other organizations.
In the case of an organization the global ID
may start with a letter "O" to denote the same and
transactions may require TWO signatures or more signed
on gold, that is the organization’s and the
controlling authority represented by an individual
/ individuals signing with their own Global identity
etc.
Few examples of patterns which may be used
:
The above are just a few
suggested applications. Ultimately, some sort of
a globally acceptable protocol has to be
established .
