Abstract: Web based e-mails and web based accounts can be set-up without any verification of the information submitted by the individual opening the account. Currently, there is no process to prevent an individual from opening many different accounts, under different alias names and using false indentifying information. Those accounts can then be used for a variety of fraudulent, illegal or immoral purposes, such as social degradation, harassment, bullying, internet fraud, and political/government safety and security issues. The high volume of these accounts on the web greatly increases space consumption on servers, which could be utilized for purposes that are more productive Bhumins (a concept) will provide a service that will authenticate existing and new accounts globally by coordinating with various service providers (i.e. utility companies) and government agencies that maintain records with documented identity information such as legal name, home address, etc.  Bhumins' server will maintain confidentiality in accordance with established legislation pertaining to privacy of personal information. Each authenticated e-mail or web based account will bear the Bhumins logo that will confirm the legitimacy of the account. This concept shall be a joint collaboration with Federal government, selected service providers, web service providing companies and Bhumins. Bhumins' server will be central in this system and shall collect, review and record information received from other agencies for verification of authenticity.
