  • Patent number: 10939291
    Abstract: A combination of target images and control images are presented to a user device for selection by the user. Based on a correct selection of images that the user either recognizes or does not recognize, the user may be authenticated. Target images have some connection to a legitimate user in a way that a legitimate user may recognize the target image. Control images have no known connection to the legitimate user, such that they would not typically be recognized by the legitimate user. The legitimacy of a user may be determined based on images selected and/or not selected, depending on accompanying instructions for selection.

  • Patent number: 9152818
    Abstract: A technique manages consumer authentication. The technique involves communicating with an institutional entity to perform an authentication operation regarding a consumer. The technique further involves conveying a query to the consumer in response to the authentication operation. The query prompts the consumer to indicate whether the consumer participated in the authentication operation. The technique further involves obtaining a response to the query indicating whether the consumer participated in the authentication operation. The authentication operation is legitimate when the response indicates that the consumer participated in the authentication operation. The authentication operation is fraudulent when the response indicates that the consumer did not participate in the authentication operation. In some arrangements, the authentication operation involves knowledge-based authentication (KBA) activity.

  • Patent number: 9131374
    Abstract: An improved technique employs knowledge-based authentication (KBA) based on data stored in a mobile apparatus. The mobile apparatus collects data from sources including email data, web browsing data, accessed YouTube video data, and GPS location data recently stored in the mobile apparatus. From such data, the mobile apparatus builds questions and stores the questions on a database on the phone. Upon receiving a request to access a resource stored in the mobile apparatus from a user, the mobile apparatus selects questions at random and ranks them according to a policy accessible to the mobile apparatus. The mobile apparatus presents the highest-ranked questions to the user. The mobile apparatus grants or rejects access to the resource based on an authentication result that the mobile apparatus generates from answers to the questions submitted by the user.

  • Patent number: 8856954
    Abstract: A method is used in authenticating using organization based information. Organization based information is analyzed for information that is suitable for use in authenticating a user. The organization based information includes employee-used information. A question is derived from the organization based information. Based on the question, a process used to authenticate a user is executed.

  • Patent number: 8776195
    Abstract: An improved technique involves converting facts from multiple fact sources to a common data format. Along these lines, for each fact source having a source-specific format, a KBA system provides an adaptor that converts incoming facts in the source-specific format to the common data format prior to generating questions. The KBA system stores the facts in the common format in a database for subsequent access. In response to an authorization request, the KBA system then builds questions based on the facts from multiple sources in the common data format stored in the database.
