Abstract
A computer implemented method of providing access to information includes issuing a secure identification element to a user. Such secure identification element is then submitted to a requesting entity in order to access the user's personal information. The requesting entity may access the users personal information using the secure identification element by way of the processing agent. The processing agent may map the secure identification element to an information segment including personal information of the user by way of an identification element of the users and the information is transmitted to the requesting entity. The method provides a secure way to access personal information without divulging a user's identification number.
