Abstract

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with intelligent authentication. According to one embodiment, a system includes a transaction logic configured to receive transaction metadata associated with an attempted transaction. The transaction logic is also configured to identify a user attempting the attempted transaction. The system further includes an activity logic configured to access an activity log associated with the user. The activity log includes values corresponding to previous transactions made by the user and any additional information provided by 3rd party feeds. The activity logic is also configured to compare transaction metadata to the values. The system also includes an authentication logic configured to select an authentication level for the transaction based, at least in part, on the comparison.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]Authentication is a technique for verifying a user. Typically, authentication is standardized for each resource such that each electronic resource is associated with a specific authentication technique. For example, a financial institution may make the online banking interface subject to a username and password combination to authenticate a user and the ATM transaction interface subject to a bank card and personal identification number (PIN) combination to authenticate the user. Thus, the user cannot use the username and password of their online banking tools to access the ATM.[0002]Conventionally, the authentication required for a particular electronic resource is set by the organization and does not change. Suppose that a user logs into online banking from a mobile device to check their balance a block away from an ATM, and then moments later attempts to perform a transaction at the ATM. The authentication technique utilized by the ATM does not change based on the ...
