METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTING AND MANAGING AN ENTERPRISE IDENTITY MANAGEMENT FOR DISTRIBUTED SECURITY IN A COMPUTER SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- assigning, by a computer-based system for identity management, a positive weight to a first transaction initiated by an identity associated with an account and from a location consistent with a location associated with a previous transaction;
assigning, by the computer-based system, a negative weight to a second transaction initiated by the identity associated with the account and from a location inconsistent with the location associated with the previous transaction; and
determining, by the computer-based system, a likelihood that the identity owns the account based upon the positive weight and the negative weight.

Abstract
A method and system for facilitating the management of user identities includes an ownership component, a registration component, and a servicing component. When a user first desires to access a system using the present invention, the registration component verifies the user'"'"'s ownership of the underlying account by asking a variety of questions. Thereafter, when a user desires to service his account, the user may be re-queried to determine if he is attempting to access the correct information. An authentication and access component provides the functionality to access a system of the present invention. An audit component can be configured to periodically monitor the various accounts to ensure a continued linking between users and accounts.

8. An article of manufacture including a non-transitory, tangible computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a computer-based system for identity management, cause the computer-based system to perform operations comprising:
-
assigning, by the computer-based system, a positive weight to a first transaction initiated by an identity associated with an account and from a location consistent with a location associated with a previous transaction; assigning, by the computer-based system, a negative weight to a second transaction initiated by the identity associated with the account and from a location inconsistent with the location associated with the previous transaction; and determining, by the computer-based system, a likelihood that the identity owns the account based upon the positive weight and the negative weight. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system comprising:
-
a processor for identity management, a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising; assigning, by the processor, a positive weight to a first transaction initiated by an identity associated with an account and from a location consistent with a location associated with a previous transaction; assigning, by the processor, a negative weight to a second transaction initiated by the identity associated with the account and from a location inconsistent with the location associated with the previous transaction; and determining, by the processor, a likelihood that the identity owns the account based upon the positive weight and the negative weight. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
