Abstract: A method for user credential authentication includes receiving real-time logs from a blockchain network that is configured to perform an authentication process of a user. The real-time logs are normalized and bucketized to generate processed real-time logs, which are stored in a block and are added to a blockchain.

In response to the first authentication score being less than the first authentication score threshold, a first instruction is sent to the blockchain network to temporarily stop the authentication process of the user.
