The method implemented by computer to verify a certificate of participation presented on a web site of the user in view; and the system to verify a certificate of participation presented inA web site from the user in Vista

摘要

A system and method is presented for providing verification of specified credentials to an independent person (a third party, that is, a user of a purported member's website) through the utilization of an organization certificate (OC) in combination with a membership certificate (MC), with the field structure of the OC limiting the type of information that can be certified by the issuing organization. The set of fields in the OC is defined as associated with a particular type of organization, where any extraneous information will not be permitted to form part of a legitimate membership certificate (hereinafter MC). The use of specific field descriptions thus assumes that any field appearing in an MC that does not have a corresponding field tag in the OC will cause the MC to be flagged as invalid by the user's browser extension during the verification process.
