Abstract: Systems and methods for authentication. At an authentication service, key synchronization information is stored for an enrolled authentication device for a user identifier of a service provider. The key synchronization information indicates that a private key stored by the authentication device is synchronized with a public key stored at the service provider. Responsive to an authentication request provided by the service provider for the user identifier, the authentication service determines an authentication device for the user identifier that stores a synchronized private key by using the key synchronization information, and provides the authentication request to the authentication device. The authentication service provides a signed authentication response to the service provider. The authentication response is responsive to the authentication request and signed by using the private key. The service provider verifies the signed authentication response by using the public key.

Abstract: A method for distributed trust authentication of one or more users attempting to access one or more service providers operating on a network includes performing primary authentication of a user using a first authentication factor, generating a first partial digital signature for a first authentication response to the primary authentication, performing secondary authentication of the user using a second authentication factor, generating a second partial digital signature for the second authentication response to the secondary authentication, combining the first and second partial digital signatures to form a composite digital signature, and validating the composite digital signature.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that include: accessing implicit authentication data from a possession factor associated with an authorized user; at the possession factor or at an authentication platform: generating a possession confidence level using the implicit authentication data, the possession confidence level being one of a plurality of possession confidence levels, the possession confidence level indicating a likelihood that the possession factor is possessed by the authorized user; identifying, among a plurality of varying authentication requirements, an authentication requirement for the transaction based on the possession confidence level, the authentication requirement defines a process or action to prove authority to perform the transaction or a process or action to prove an identity of a user attempting to perform the transaction; and implementing the authentication requirement for the transaction.
