System and method for cross-cloud identity matching
First Claim
1. A method, implemented by one or more computers of a computer-based cloud environment in which there are implemented a plurality of cloud-based resources for at least two of which a user has a user identity, for cross-cloud identity matching, comprising:
- receiving at least one user identifier of a user of a client node;
determining at least one of the cloud-based resources accessed by the client node;
selecting a cloud-based resource of the determined at least one cloud-based resource;
extracting at least one possible user identity of the user from the selected cloud-based resource;
identifying at least one user identifier of the extracted at least one possible user identity;
wherein one of the at least one received user identifier and one of the at least one identified user identifier is a profile photo;
matching between each identified user identifier and the at least one received user identifier;
determining whether each possible user identity is associated with the user based on the matching; and
upon determining that at least one possible user identity is associated with the user, storing each associated user identity for the client node.

Abstract
A system and method for cross-cloud identity matching are provided. The method includes receiving at least one user identifier of a user of a client node; determining at least one cloud-based resource accessed by the client node; selecting a cloud-based resource of the at least one accessed cloud-based resource; extracting at least one possible user identity of the user from the selected cloud-based resource; identifying at least one user identifier of the extracted at least one possible user identity; matching between each identified user identifier and the at least one received user identifier; determining whether each possible user identity is associated with the user respective of the matching; and upon determining that at least one possible user identity is associated with the user, storing each associated user identity respective of the client node.

10. A system, implemented by one or more computers of a computer-based cloud environment in which there are implemented a plurality of cloud cloud-based resources for at least two of which a user has a user identity, for cross-cloud identity matching, comprising:
-
a processing system; and a memory communicatively connected to the processing system, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing system, configure the system to; receive at least one user identifier of a user of a client node; determine at least one of the cloud-based resources accessed by the client node; select a cloud-based resource of the determined at least one cloud-based resource; extract at least one possible user identity of the user from the selected cloud-based resource; identify at least one user identifier of the extracted at least one possible user identity; wherein one of the at least one received user identifier and one of the at least one identified user identifier is a profile photo; match between each identified user identifier and the at least one received user identifier; determine whether each possible user identity is associated with the user based on the matching; and upon determining that at least one possible user identity is associated with the user, store each associated user identity for the client node. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
