SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR APPLYING DIGITAL FINGERPRINTS IN MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION
First Claim
1. A method for multi-factor authentication with a first client operating on a first client device, comprising:
- receiving a login request, the login request associated with a first user account, from the first client;
in response to receiving the login request, initiating an authentication transaction;
generating a first client digital fingerprint from a set of first client properties collected from the first client;
identifying a second client, the second client operating on a second client device, from data associated with the first user account;
analyzing the first client digital fingerprint based on a first set of stored digital fingerprints;
generating a concern metric based on analysis of the first client digital fingerprint; and
in response to the concern metric exceeding a threshold concern metric, notifying a user that the login request may have originated from an unauthorized source;
wherein notifying the user comprises notifying the user at the second client device.

Abstract
A method for multi-factor authentication with a first client includes receiving a request associated with the first client, initiating an authentication transaction, generating a digital fingerprint based on a set of client properties collected in association with the first client, identifying a second client from data associated with the authentication transaction, analyzing a digital fingerprint based on a set of stored digital fingerprints; generating a concern metric based on the analysis; and notifying an entity that the login request may have originated from an unauthorized source.

18. A method for multi-factor authentication with a first client operating on a first client device, comprising:
-
receiving a login request, the login request associated with a first user account, from the first client; in response to receiving the login request, initiating an authentication transaction; identifying a second client, the second client operating on a second client device, from data associated with the first user account; generating a first client digital fingerprint from a set of first client properties collected from the first client; generating a second client digital fingerprint from a set of second client properties collected from the second client; comparing the first client digital fingerprint to the second client digital fingerprint; generating a concern metric based on the comparison of the first client digital fingerprint and the second client digital fingerprint; and in response to the concern metric exceeding a threshold concern metric, notifying a user that the login request may have originated from an unauthorized source;
wherein notifying the user comprises notifying the user at the second client device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)
