A method for enhanced quality of identification in a data communications
network includes obtaining a user identifier that includes an
identification server ID and an identification randomized ID. The
identification server ID identifies an identification server peer group.
The identification server peer group includes at least one server that
maintains a mapping between an identification randomized ID and a user
authentication peer group capable of authenticating a user associated
with a particular randomized ID, and a mapping between the identification
randomized ID and user information. The method also includes requesting
authorization of the user by presenting the user identifier to a
corresponding identification server peer group. Each server in the
identification server peer group is configured to search for one or more
matching entries including the randomized ID.
