  • Patent number: 11666829
    Abstract: A system includes at least one hardware processor in communication with a gaming device and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the at least one hardware processor to perform operations including receiving suspect gaming behavior data associated with a suspect user playing a computer game on the gaming device, comparing the suspect gaming behavior data to a user gaming behavior profile associated with another user, the user gaming behavior profile includes at least one component of behavior associated with the other user and the computer game representing a pattern of conduct of the other user, and based on the comparing, authenticating the suspect user for access to a target system as the other user.

  • Publication number: 20210297406
    Abstract: A system includes at least one hardware processor in communication with a first computing device of a suspect party and a second computing device of an inquiring party, the suspect party being targeted for trust evaluation by the inquiring party, and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the at least one hardware processor to perform operations. The operations include receiving, from the second computing device, a request to perform a trust evaluation of the suspect party, the request including a permission token, identifying the suspect party based on the permission token, generating a trust result for the suspect party based on financial data associated with the suspect party, the trust result indicating an assessed level of trustworthiness of the suspect party, and transmitting the trust result to the second computing device for display to the inquiring party.

  • Patent number: 11071910
    Abstract: A system includes at least one hardware processor in communication with a user computing device associated with a user and a memory storing instructions. When executed by the at least one hardware processor, the instructions cause the at least one hardware processor to perform operations including receiving gaming behavior data associated with the user playing a computer game on the user computing device, the gaming behavior data includes one or more of session-based behavior data, game-selection behavior data, and ancillary gaming behavior data, determining a first trait of the user based on the gaming behavior data, and automatically computing a financial risk factor associated with the user based on the determined first trait.
