Fully electronic identity authentication

This describes a system for verifying a person's identity online, specifically for registering to vote and casting ballots electronically. A user connects to a central system from their computer, which checks their identity, issues them a digital certificate, and registers them to vote. The system can also present an electronic ballot on the user's device and securely send their encrypted vote back to the central facility.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread cloud infrastructure and advanced mobile device biometrics were common. The secure server and identity proofing aspects are now significantly more feasible and robust using modern cloud services and smartphone capabilities.
