Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method of incorporating multiple authentication systems and protocols. The types of authentication systems and protocols can vary based on desired assurance levels. A Centralized Authentication System together with an authentication policy dictates acceptable authentication systems. Authorization data for each authorization system are captured and packaged into a single Object Data Structure. The authorization data can be compared to data stored in an identity store for authentication. The authorization data can also be used for user and device registration and for transferring an authentication or registration token from a previously authenticated and registered device to a new device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a system and method of allocating a resource based on myriad input data. In some embodiments, the myriad input data include membership information, claims data, transactional data, etc. The myriad input data are sorted and organized in a meaningful association relationship before applied to a resource allocation modeling algorithm. The resource allocation modeling algorithm provides estimated resource necessary for the application chosen. For example, an insurance company may use membership information, claims data, transactional data, etc., to estimate how much reserves or funds it should hold to cover future claims within a certain timeframe.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method of establishing a user profile using multiple channels. Embodiments allow compatibility of the user profile across several authentication systems.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method for enhancing standard authentication systems to include risk-based decisions. Risk-based decisions can be selectively implemented within existing authentication systems to strategically modify and supplement security if an unacceptable risk is detected. Embodiments capture information pertaining to a user and user device. Information is stored to create a profile for the user and user device. A comparison between the stored information and live data can be performed within authentication systems to optimize security. If the results of the comparison demonstrate the presence of an acceptable risk, then the need for subsequent authentication can be reduced or eliminated, which improves a user experience.

The API includes instructions for sending, receiving, and translating information between the server and the client device. The server then receives, from the client device, a status request. The server sends, from the monitoring application to the API, the monitored data related to the at least one service. Then the server translates, using the API, the monitored data related to the service to obtain the status of the service in the computing environment.
