System and Method for Risk Assessment of an Asserted Identity
First Claim
1. A method for providing a risk assessment for an asserted identity, the method comprising the steps of:
- searching an identity database to retrieve one or more known identities based on the asserted identity;
calculating a probability score for each retrieved said known identity;
searching a first risk database to retrieve a first risk score for each said known identity;
searching a second risk database to retrieve a second risk score for each said known identity; and
calculating a final risk score based on said probability score and said first and second risk scores associated with each of said known identities thereby providing a risk assessment for the asserted identity.

Abstract
A system for providing a risk assessment for an asserted identity comprising an identity database, a first risk database, a second risk database, an identity module that receives the asserted identity and searches the identity database to retrieve one or more known identities and calculates a probability score for each retrieved known identity, a correlator module that receives each retrieved known identity and respective probability score from the identity module, the correlator module further comprising an identity risk sub-module that searches the first and the second risk databases to retrieve respective first and second risk scores for each known identity, and an assessment module that receives the probability score and the first and second risk scores associated with each of the known identities from the correlator module and calculates a final risk score therefrom to thereby provide a risk assessment for the asserted identity.

8. A method for providing a risk assessment for an asserted identity, the method comprising the steps of:
-
searching an identity database to retrieve one or more known identities based on the asserted identity; searching open source data to retrieve information on each retrieved said known identity; calculating a probability score for each retrieved said known identity based on the asserted identity and said retrieved information; searching a first risk database to retrieve a first risk score for each said known identity; searching a second risk database to retrieve a second risk score for each said known identity; and calculating a final risk score based on said probability score and said first and second risk scores associated with each of said known identities thereby providing a risk assessment for the asserted identity. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system for providing a risk assessment for an asserted identity comprising:
-
an identity database; a first risk database; a second risk database; an identity module that receives the asserted identity and searches said identity database to retrieve one or more known identities and calculates a probability score for each retrieved said known identity; a correlator module that receives each retrieved said known identity and respective probability score from said identity module, said correlator module further comprising; an identity risk sub-module that searches said first and said second risk databases to retrieve respective first and second risk scores for each said known identity; and an assessment module that receives said probability score and said first and second risk scores associated with each of said known identities from said correlator module and calculates a final risk score therefrom thereby providing a risk assessment for the asserted identity. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
