Embodiments of the present application relate to a method and apparatus for a digital user to receive payment and send payment anonymously. In an example method, a digital user (D-User) resides in a network element and performs functionality on behalf of a physical user, such as a wireless communication device. The D-User may receive a request from a third party to identify a process to authorize an agreement with the third party. The method further includes obtaining a temporary credential from a certification authority (CA) to authorize the agreement with the third party; sending a message to the third party, where the message contains the temporary credential that allows the third party to verify an authorization with the CA; and exchanging confirmation information with the third party regarding authorization of the agreement.
