  • Patent number: 11599611
    Abstract: A continuous authentication system and related methods are provided. The system detects requests to perform user actions. A security value is associated with each user action. The system determines a subsequent session security level in response to an adjustment to a session security level by a security value of a requested user action. The requested user action is permitted and the session security level is adjusted based on the security value of the requested user action in response to a determination by the system that the subsequent session security level is greater than or equal to a threshold session security level. A user authentication challenge is caused (e.g., prompted) in response to a determination by the system that the subsequent session security level is less than the threshold session security level.

  • Patent number: 11601423
    Abstract: Methods for authenticating a genuine presence of a human involve directing one or more modulated probes towards a body part of the human, receiving a response to the probes from the body part, and analyzing the response to determine whether it contains spectral characteristics that match a class of responses to such probes for the human body part in a human population. Replay attacks are countered by varying the modulation of the probe temporally, spatially, and spectrally each time authentication is performed. The probes may include electromagnetic radiation, acoustic beams, or particle beams that generate a detected reflection, absorption pattern, scintillation, or fluorescence response of the body part. The analysis of the response may be directed to one or more of temporal, spatial, and spectral variations in accordance with the nature of the probes and the modulation.

  • Patent number: 11563757
    Abstract: A new approach is proposed to support account takeover (ATO) detection based on login attempts by users. The approach relies on assessing fraudulence confidence level of login IP addresses to classify the login attempts by the users. A plurality of attributes/features in one or more user login data logs are extracted and used to build a labeled dataset for training a machine learning (ML) model that relies on statistics of the login attempts to classify and detect fraudulent logins. These attributes make it possible to ascertain if a login attempt or instance by a user is suspicious based on the ML model. In some embodiments, the ML model is trained using anonymized user login data to preserve privacy of the users and a proper level of data anonymization is determined based on the ML model's accuracy in detecting the ATO attacks when trained with different versions of the anonymized data.

  • Patent number: 11531736
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for adaptably authenticating a user are disclosed. A device captures a user input, and sends data corresponding thereto to a system. The system determines natural language understanding (NLU) results representing the user input. A user authentication component of the system receives the NLU results and determines a skill configured to perform an action responsive to the user input. The user authentication component adaptably performs user authentication based on a user authentication condition associated with the skill. If the user can be authenticated to the satisfaction of the condition, the NLU results data are sent to the skill, along with an indicator representing the user was authenticated by the system.

  • Patent number: 11531735
    Abstract: A machine detects a request to execute a transaction specified by a first set of user inputs. The machine determines, based on the first set of user inputs that specified the transaction, that the request to execute the transaction is to be verified with a corresponding challenge prompt that is to be generated for the request to execute the transaction. The machine then generates the challenge prompt that corresponds to the request to execute the transaction specified by the first set of user inputs that specified the transaction, and the machine causes presentation of the generated challenge prompt that corresponds to the request to execute the transaction. In response to the presented challenge prompt, the machine may receive a second set of user inputs. Based on the second set of user inputs, the machine then generates an indication of whether the request is verified.

  • Patent number: 11520871
    Abstract: In an approach to augmenting authentication methods using a face covering, one or more computer processors receive an image of a user wearing a face covering, where a portion of the face of the user is visible in the image, and the face covering covers another portion of the face of the user in the image. One or more computer processors detect an identifier operably coupled with the face covering. One or more computer processors determine whether the first portion of the face of the user is associated with the identifier. In response to determining the first portion of the face of the user is not associated with the identifier, one or more computer processors receive an alternate authentication. One or more computer processors authenticate the user.
