Abstract: A subscriber information authentication system that compares network-obtained and device-obtained information to verify that a device being used in connection with a user account is authenticated for that account. Certain subscriber information may be associated with the account during a registration process. In subsequent attempts to access the account, the registered subscriber information may be used in conjunction with information obtained from a telecommunication network and from a device to verify that the device is authorized. The information from the telecommunication network may be queried using Signaling System No. 7 (“SS7”) protocols. The device authorization may be performed, for example, to ensure that a device being used for device-based verification is the device a user purports it to be.

Abstract: A user authentication system that analyzes call forwarding information obtained from telecommunication networks, such as through the use of Signaling System No. 7 (“SS7”) protocols, to detect the possibility of fraud. In response to a request to access a network-accessible service, the system performs an initial authentication of provided user account credentials. The system then obtains a telecommunication subscriber identifier that is associated with the user account. Prior to performing additional device-based user authentication, the system obtains call forwarding information for the user. The obtained call forwarding information is then evaluated for potentially fraudulent call forwarding configurations. For example, call forwarding to certain call forwarding numbers, or the use of different call forwarding types, may be indicative of fraud intended to undermine further user authentication.

Abstract: A comprehensive authentication and identity system and method are disclosed. A central profile is created for a user which includes user information that can be passed back or otherwise utilized by websites (e.g. for registrations, logins, etc.) The user information may include the user's username, password, contact information, personal information, marketing preferences, financial information, etc. For website registrations, the user may provide a mobile communication number that is utilized to perform a type of mobile communication device verification process. As part of a website login, the user may provide identifiable information (e.g. a username) that is looked up by the system or website to determine a mobile communication number for the user, which is used for a verification process. If the verification process is completed successfully, the user may be logged into the website. For accessing the system directly, a user may go through a mobile communication device verification process.

Abstract: A behavioral characteristics authentication system and method (“BCA system”) that facilitates authentication of the identity of a user, registrant, or applicant of a website, application, or other accessible computer resource using a verification process that incorporates behavioral characteristics. In operation, the BCA system compares a single user's behavior with their previous behavior, a user's behavior with behavior generally attributed to non-fraudulent behavior, or a user's behavior with behavior generally attributed to fraudulent behavior. The population of other users that a user's behavior is compared with may be selected to have similar demographic or other characteristics as the user. By analyzing various behavioral characteristics associated with legitimate or fraudulent multi-factor authentication attempts, the BCA system adds another layer of security to online transactions.

Abstract: A communication number processing system and methods for processing communication numbers or identifiers of various types to prevent fraud in transactions associated with the communication numbers are disclosed. The communication number processing system, in an example embodiment, verifies a communication number by retrieving characteristics data including network-derived characteristics data and/or other attributes relating to the communication number and processing the characteristics data and/or the attributes based on one or more rules. The communication number processing system further generates a fraud score for the communication number. A client system can then use the fraud score to assess a risk associated with engaging in a transaction with a user associated with the communication number.
