First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for user authentication comprising:
- collecting environmental sensor data from one or more sensors of a client device;
using a geographical location reported by the device to collect supplemental data for the location;
comparing the environmental sensor data with the supplemental data to arrive at a correlation score; and
responsively selecting one or more authentication techniques for authenticating a user of the client device based on the correlation score based on an authentication policy associated with a relying party.
