  • Patent number: 11910190
    Abstract: Subscriber identity modules can be bound to devices and utilized for authentication. An initial or additional subscriber identity module can be bound to a user device, for instance after successful user authentication by way of an alternate mechanism. A subscriber identity module of a device can be identified, and carrier data associated with the subscriber identity module can be requested and received. A determination can be made regarding whether the subscriber identity module is linked to the device, for instance by an original linkage. A user profile can be automatically updated with the carrier data to bind the user to the user device based on the subscriber identity module when the subscriber identity module is verified to be linked to the user device. Subsequently, the subscriber identity module can be utilized as a basis for authentication.

  • Patent number: 11348102
    Abstract: Intelligent authentication is disclosed. Data associated with a request for resource access by a user is compared to values of factors related to previous resource access by the user. A score is computed based on a result of the compare. Here, the score represents a degree of likelihood the user is the user associated with the previous resource access. An authentication level can then be determined based on the score, and authentication of the user triggered at the authentication level. In one instance, the authentication can be triggered to re-authenticate a user after a user session times out.

  • Patent number: 10743181
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with multi SIM card device binding are described herein. According to one embodiment, a system includes an authentication logic configured to enable communication between an entity and a user. The user is associated with a user profile. The system further includes a carrier logic configured to identify a subscriber identity module (SIM) card of a carrier. The carrier logic also requests carrier data associated with the SIM card from the carrier. An update logic is configured to update the user profile with the carrier data.

  • Patent number: 10679211
    Abstract: Intelligent authentication is disclosed. 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.
