Abstract: Method, media, and system for authentication of a claimant as a claimed identity. Embodiments break the authentication process into two steps. In the first step, a registrant establishes an identity profile by presenting identity documents and authentication points that can later be used to verify that they are the person who established the identity profile. Subsequently, when a claimant claims the identity in the identity profile, an identity score and an authentication score can be calculated based on the identity profile and the information provided by the claimant. The authentication score measures how likely it is that the claimant is the same person who established the identity profile. The identity score measures how likely it is that the registrant is who they are claiming to be. The identity score and the authentication score can then be combined to determine the likelihood that the claimant actually corresponds to the claimed identity.

Abstract: The invention provides a streaming client with a streaming presentation of an event, with said presentation being obtained by dynamically switching between a plurality of media streams which represent different recordings of the event. For that purpose, source data is obtained from a plurality of stream sources. The source data is constituted by content data and/or metadata of concurrent portions of the plurality of media streams.

For example, a segment may be selected which provides a highest quality score. By doing so, it is therefore not required anymore for a consumer to manually switch between different media streams.
