Abstract:
1. A method comprising: encrypting customer information in an encryption stream on a customer computer, wherein said customer information comprises a customer age identifier and a customer agreement identifier of a customer; causing said encryption stream to be transferred from said customer computer directly to a merchant computer over a computer network in a purchase transaction for downloadable digital media; causing said encryption stream to be routed from said merchant computer to a verification entity computer over said computer network; producing, by said verification entity computer, a unique transaction identifier comprising an identity verification and a payment authorization, based on said encryption stream; transferring, by said verification entity computer, said unique transaction identifier to said merchant computer over said computer network; causing said encryption stream and said unique transaction identifier to be devoid of personal payment information of said customer; causing at least one of said encryption stream and said unique transaction identifier to be added, by said merchant computer, to said downloadable digital media to create a personalized electronic item; and causing said personalized electronic item to be supplied from said merchant computer to said customer computer over said computer network, wherein each personalized electronic item supplied to different customers is different because of a uniqueness of each encryption stream.
