Identity Verification And Authentication
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a first computing device associated with a social-networking system from a second computing device, a first request to verify a claimed identity of a first user of the social-networking system;
sending, by the first computing device to a mobile computing device associated with the first user, a second request for information associated with the first user of the social-networking system;
receiving, at the first computing device, the information associated with the first user of the social-networking system, the information collected or maintained by the mobile device associated with the first user;
determining, by the first computing device, a confidence score indicating a confidence level of the claimed identity of the first user, based at least in part on;
the information associated with the first user of the social-networking system as received from the mobile computing device; and
information stored by the social-networking system; and
sending, by the first computing device to the second computing device, the confidence score for verifying the claimed identity of the first user.

Abstract
In one embodiment, receiving, at a first computing device associated with a social-networking system and from a second computing device, a first request to verify an identity of a user of the social-networking system; sending, by the first computing device and to a mobile device associated with the user, a second request for information about the user; receiving, at the first computing device and from the mobile device, the information about the user; determining, by the first computing device, a confidence score indicating a probability that the identity of the user is true based on the information about the user received from the mobile device and information available to the social-networking system; and sending, by the first computing device and to the second computing device, the confidence score.

9. A first computing device associated with a social-networking system comprising:
-
a memory comprising instructions executable by one or more processors; and the one or more processors coupled to the memory and operable to execute the instructions, the one or more processors being operable when executing the instructions to; receive, from a second computing device, a first request to verify a claimed identity of a first user of the social-networking system; send, to a mobile computing device associated with the first user, a second request for information associated with the first user of the social-networking system; receive the information associated with the first user of the social-networking system, the information collected or maintained by the mobile device associated with the first user; determine a confidence score indicating a confidence level of the claimed identity of the user, based at least in part on; the information associated with the first user of the social-networking system as received from the mobile computing device; and information stored by the social-networking system; and send, to the second computing device, the confidence score for verifying the claimed identity of the user. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software operable when executed by a first computing device to:
-
receive, from a second computing device, a first request to verify a claimed identity of a user of the social-networking system; send, to a mobile computing device associated with the user, a second request for information associated with the first user of the social-networking system; receive, from the mobile computing device, the information associated with the first user of the social-networking system, the information collected or maintained by the mobile device associated with the first user; determine a confidence score indicating a confidence level of the claimed identity of the user, based at least in part on; the information associated with the first user of the social-networking system as received from the mobile computing device; and information stored by the social-networking system; and send, to the second computing device, the confidence score for verifying the claimed identity of the first user. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
