A system and method to enable a person to interact in both a physical world and an electronic world and enable a person to make Identity Protected Secured Purchases (IPSP) is described. The system includes a blank card containing an encoded strip, a password, a wireless communication device (cell phone with two-way satellite communication), and a server that delivers purchase approvals. The assigned blank card contains encoded information exclusive to the client that when presented, allows the retailer to request purchase approval from the server. The password is a series of numbers known only by the client. The assigned wireless communication device transmits its EIN (exclusive to the client) to the server and allows the client to input their password. The server includes a matching process that matches information from the client's blank card, password and, wireless communication device with information from retailers and other hosts that warrant the purchase approval. In the method, the client's identity is never exposed to the retailer. The client simply takes their receipt, the validation server authorizes the transaction and records it and the validation server keeps a record of the purchase.
