Patent number: 9367520Abstract: Data is received that characterizes a transaction and includes a plurality of values corresponding to variables. Thereafter, a score is determined for the transaction based on the received data and using a scoring model. The scoring model only uses variables pairs having a divergence residual above a pre-defined threshold. Thereafter, data is provided that characterizes the determined score. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and computer program products are also described.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: FAIR ISAAC CORPORATIONInventors: Xing Zhao, Peter Hamilton, Andrew K.

Patent number: 7757271Abstract: A security service of computer networks having a policy builder, an LDAP-compliant database, a validator and an API. The policy builder component provides a graphical user interface to be used by a policy manager to define access policies for users seeking to access network services and resources. The graphical user interface has a grid of nodes representing access policies. The grid is arranged to correspond to a defined tree structure representing services and resources and a business relationship tree structure representing users. The graphical user interface permits the policy manager to define policy builder plug-ins for access policy customization. The LDAP-compliant database maintains the policy builder plug-ins. The validator component receives requests from users and queries the LDAP-compliant database to obtain relevant access policies as defined by the policy manager.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2008Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Eugene Amdur, Andrew Flint, Steven Lamb, Steve Kotsopoulos, Irving Reid, C.
