Abstract: The field of the invention relates to network connected authentication systems, and more particularly to systems and methods that enable authentication of one or more users of a group using network connected devices. In an embodiment, the system includes a network connected authentication server coupled to a network for access by a plurality of user devices in a group to authenticate a user of one or more third party applications. When a user of the group visits a third party application and initiates a group authentication, the network connected authentication server retrieves authentication rules and sends authentication requests to the user devices of the group based on the authentication rules.

Abstract: A system and method to detect and prevent fraud in a system is provided. The system may uniquely identify physical devices connecting to a network, register unique devices, track end-user logins, associate end-user accounts with specific devices, and share information with multiple network service providers is described.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and articles for receiving, by a server, a plurality of identifiers associated with a client device are described herein. The server may also encrypt a plurality of encoding values associated with the plurality of identifiers using a first key of a key pair of the server, and generate a token uniquely identifying the client device, a body of the token including the encrypted plurality of encoding values. In other embodiments, the server may receive a token along with the plurality of identifiers. In such embodiments, the server may further verify the validity of the received token, including attempting to decrypt a body of the received token with a key associated with a second server, the second server having generated the received token, and, if decryption succeeds, comparing ones of the plurality of identifiers with second identifiers found in the decrypted body to check for inconsistencies.

Abstract: A method of determining a risk score indicating a risk that an electronic transaction will involve fraud and/or abuse. The method includes receiving transaction data associated with a not yet completed transaction from a merchant. The transaction data includes one or more characteristics related to the transaction. A profile is selected that identifies network devices each associated with the characteristics and having a device reputation. Next, a profile-based risk factor is determined as a function of a percentage of the network devices having a negative reputation. The risk score is determined as a function of the profile-based risk factor. In some embodiments, a transaction-based risk factor may also be determined. In such embodiments, the risk score is determined as a function of the profile-based and transaction-based risk factors. The risk score is provided to the merchant to be used thereby to determine whether to proceed with the transaction.
