WIN (An Idea): Globalizing and Securing Web with WIN (Web Identification Number)

About WIN

Now a days several frauds, terrorism are taking place via web. Are you thinking to stop this nonsense? Here comes into picture, the WIN. It authenticates each and every user so that each and every user pursues a cool life on the web. WIN is an idea to provide a unique identification number to identify a person on the web. WIN is not only a number; it’s an informative identity of WIN holder.

What is WIN?

WIN is an idea to provide a unique identification number to authenticate each and every user on the WEB to stop the fraud, to minimize the headache of websites during registration, to provide a world wide unique identity to a user on the Internet. WIN is an idea to globalize the web world.

How a person can get WIN?

The user who wants a Web Identification Number (WIN) will contact WIN provider through Internet on WIN providers website .There will be a link to create the WIN. The user will click on that link and get a new page with the form for getting WIN will be opened. And there he/she may fill his/her details including Name, Contact number, E-mail IDs, Contact address and permanent address. Now the WIN provider will check the reliability and authenticity of that person including his/her background with the help of government agencies and also by their network and get all valid details .After that they will create a WIN for the person concerned and store all the related details in the database. (This will be a repeated process which means that WIN provider will check the details and update the database after a certain period, so that the database will be updated.)

How WIN will help on WEB?

WIN will help WEB users in several aspects. WIN provider will create a web service to get information about a WIN (including Name, Email, Address etc.) and this web service will be utilized by the websites and government agencies to get details in restricted manner (Simple sites can access only some details for internal processing and government agencies can use complete details to trace the users).

  • Government Agencies
    Government agencies can access all the details of a person including Name, Date of Birth, Contact Number, Contact Address, E-mail IDs, Permanent Address, Background and history of that person so that it will be very helpful to stop frauds, terrorism not only on the WEB but also in the real life of each and every person as only by WIN, agencies can get the complete detail including history of that person.

  • Other Websites
    Websites other than government agencies have limited access on person’s details, including Name, Date of Birth, Contact Address, Existing E-mail ID etc., so that they can make their registration process easy.And if the person does any harmful thing on the website,they can report to government agencies with the person’s WIN number and because of that WIN number the person is easily traceable in the whole world .The most important aspect is that it doesn’t matter that the person is living in which corner of the world.


Now these details will help in several aspects.

  1. Register a user on the web

    Now it will be easy for any website to make registration process simple because now website can get details of any user who registers on the website by using the web service provided by WIN provider through the WIN provided to the user.
    E.g. we can take an example of E-mail websites. Every site demands First Name, Last Name, Date of Birth, Contact Address, and Permanent Address. But now they can ask only for WIN (a unique number of that person). And then will be redirected to the WIN Provider’s website now here WIN user fills his/her security details (given in Secure WIN section). WIN provider’s website checks all the details and after validation will be redirected to the main site for the next step of processes and WIN will be a guarantee that the registered user is valid and not a fraud.

  2. Stop Internet Frauds

    By this new idea everything on Internet will go on using WIN like emails, shopping, forums posting advertisement etc. When each and every detail will use WIN to carry the information, there will be very less chances of frauds as government agencies can easily identify that user (can easily trace the user and his fraud).

  3. Help to stop terrorism and create clean society

    With WIN it will be very easy to stop terrorism through Internet, if each and every site will work with WIN, every transfer from one end to other end, email transfer; new websites are easily traceable with WIN. Any bad activity is easily traceable with WIN.
    E.g. Let’s say a person creates a new website to transfer some unsafe data or want to publish harmful data (harmful for society). But he/she needs to provide his/her WIN for that so that when he/she transfers any bad data he/she is traceable.


These are some of the benefits of WIN but the list is long.

How to secure WIN?

WIN will be secured just like credit card information; WIN will have some basic properties which will be known only to the WIN user Properties are as follows:


  1. WIN, provided by the WIN provider

  2. A WIN Validation number to secure it.

  3. Date of Birth

  4. WIN validity date only known to WIN provider company and WIN user



Securing WIN


  1. When any website will use WIN in their registration process, It will work like payment gateway mechanism, means the site will take WIN number redirect to WIN provider’s website where the user will provide his/her security detail, now user will be redirected to the main site, with public details for next step of processes. So that no one can use other’s WIN

  2. Use only WIN authenticated websites for data transfer

  3. Don’t tell anyone to your security details for WIN number.




WIN will become a medium in the world to globalize it. A medium which will create a platform where everything will be easy and trusted.
