Abstract: Briefly, example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture may be implemented, in whole or in part, using one or more computing devices to obtain, from a communications device, an identifier of the communications device transmitted via a communications network. The communications network may transmit a request for one or more parameters unique to a subscriber of the communications network. The method may also include processing signals indicative of the requested one or more parameters in response to the subscriber entering the one or more parameters into a graphical user interface of the communications device. The method may further include transmitting, to the communications device, one or more signals to provide a complement of subscriber parameters.

Abstract: Briefly, example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture are disclosed that may be implemented to represent an identity network corresponding to a communications device subscriber in an electronic or digital domain. The method may include transmitting a message to a communications device. Responsive to the transmitted message, an authenticator may receive a signal to verify that a subscriber having a real-world identity is co-located with the communications device.

Abstract: Briefly, example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture are disclosed that may be utilized to bring about accessing a data store to determine that signal packets have been received, via an electronic communications network, from a communications device that is to be verified. The communications device being co-located with a real-world identity. The method may additionally include electronically determining that a subscriber account identifier or a subscriber-unique alias is bound to an account held by the real-world identity and electronically tying the subscriber account identifier or the subscriber-unique alias to the real-world identity in response to electronically verifying the communications device after determining that the signal packets have been received from the communications device and in response to electronically determining that the subscriber account identifier or the subscriber-unique alias is bound to the account held by the real-world identity.

Abstract: Briefly, example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture are disclosed that may be implemented, in whole or in part, using one or more computing devices to receive at a server device coupled to a communications network, a first signal indicating that a subscriber of a mobile device has initiated a transaction. The method may continue with accessing a data store to determine occurrence of one or more deterministic events with respect to the mobile device and accessing the data store to determine one or more behavior norms specific to the subscriber with respect to the mobile device. The method may additionally include generating, by the server coupled to the communications network, a second signal indicating an authorization status of the transaction, the authorization status being dependent on the occurrence of the one or more deterministic events in relation to the one or more behavior norms.
