  • Patent number: 9882884
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, to authenticate mobile traffic. One of the methods includes receiving a first request for a strategy from a client device over a network. The method includes providing a current strategy to the client device, the current strategy including characteristics used to authenticate requests from the client device based on the inclusion of the characteristics in the request. The method includes receiving, from the client device, a second request for access to a processing system. The method includes validating the second request according to one or more strategies, including the current strategy. The method also includes forwarding the second request to the processing system based on the validation.

  • Patent number: 9548979
    Abstract: Methods and systems for enrolling a user in an authentication program. In some embodiments, voice interaction that includes a request or command is received from a user. The user may be requested to provide authentication information to fulfill the request or command made during the voice interaction. The user may be authenticated using a first authentication method. The user may be passively enrolled into an authentication program that uses a second authentication method. Enrolling may include deriving characteristics of the user's voice from the voice interaction. After the user is enrolled in the authentication program, the second authentication method may be used to authenticate the user prior to fulfilling requests or commands made during voice navigation.

  • Patent number: 9514293
    Abstract: Methods and systems for behavioral profiling, and in particular, utilizing crowd-managed data architectures to store and manage that profile, are described. In some embodiments, a method includes observing behavioral characteristics of user interactions during a current session with the user through one of a plurality of channels. Variations between the behavioral characteristics of the user interactions observed during the current session and a behavioral profile previously developed based on prior usage patterns of the user through the plurality of channels are identified, in real-time or near real-time.

  • Patent number: 9430624
    Abstract: Methods and systems for efficiently logging in or onto a computer system or other restricted system are described. An enterprise device may detect that a user device is within a detectable range of the user device. A user profile associated with the user device may be identified. The user and/or the user device may provide authentication information to the enterprise device, and the user may be granted access when the authentication information has been verified.

Variations between the behavioral characteristics of the user interactions observed during the current session and a behavioral profile previously developed based on prior usage patterns of the user through the plurality of channels are identified, in real-time or near real-time. For the user to proceed in the session, a challenge level is implemented based on the variations between the behavioral characteristics and the behavioral profile.
