  • Patent number: 9251327
    Abstract: An approach for authenticating parties engaged in a web-based transaction without compromising the integrity or anonymity of the parties is described. An authentication platform receives, from a first application associated with a first party, an authentication request that has been redirected in response to a transaction initiated with a second application associated with a second party. The authentication platform forwards knowledge based assessment information to the first application that is based on determined behavioral information for authenticating the second party to the first party. A valid response to the knowledge based assessment information by the first application provides authentication of the first party to the second party.

  • Patent number: 8595857
    Abstract: A method, performed by a computer device, may include receiving personal data from a user device associated with personas, where each of the personas corresponds to at least one classification of requesters, associating the received personal data with at least one of the personas, and identifying any of the classifications that correspond to the personas associated with received personal data. The method may further include receiving, from a data requester, a query including a request for the personal data; associating the data requester with a classification; and comparing the classification associated with the data requester to the classifications associated with personal data. The method may further include sending, to the data requester, a message containing the personal data in response to the classification of the data requester corresponding to the classifications of the personal data.

  • Publication number: 20130204708
    Abstract: A server device receives, from a third party device, a question about a behavior of a user. The server device identifies an attribute required to provide an answer to the question, determines whether a profile of the user includes the attribute, and determines the answer based on the attribute when the profile includes the attribute, where the answer does not include any information that identifies the user. The server device also transmits the answer to the third party.
