1. An authentication system, comprising:
- a hardware processor configured to;
collect information associated with at least one of a user'"'"'s use of a resource and demographic information associated with the user;
perform a statistical analysis of at least one of the collected information and one or more previous responses to stimuli;
select, based at least in part on the statistical analysis, one or more stimuli for which the user'"'"'s classifications are unlikely to be guessable;
cause at least some of the selected one or more stimuli to be presented to the user;
obtain a user response to a stimulus in the presented stimuli, wherein the response comprises a classification by the user of a topic associated with the stimulus;
store classification data provided by the user;
receive classification data associated with the user;
compare the received classification data to at least a portion of the stored classification data previously provided by the user; and
determine whether to authorize an action based at least in part on the comparison; and
a memory coupled to the processor and configured to the processor to provide the processor with instructions.

Abstract
An authentication system is disclosed. Information associated with at least one of a user'"'"'s use of a resource and demographic information associated with the user is collected. The collected information is processed to determine one or more stimuli to be presented to the user. The collected information is processed to determine one or more stimuli to be presented to the user. Classification data provided by the user is stored. Classification data associated with the user is received. The received classification data is compared to the stored classification data. A determination of whether to authorize an action based at least in part on the comparison is determined.

28. A method, comprising:
-
collecting information associated with at least one of a user'"'"'s use of a resource and demographic information associated with the user; performing a statistical analysis of at least one of the collected information and one or more previous responses to stimuli; selecting, based at least in part on the statistical analysis, one or more stimuli for which the user'"'"'s classifications are unlikely to be guessable; causing at least some of selected one or more stimuli to be presented to the user; obtaining a user response to a stimulus in the presented stimuli, wherein the response comprises a classification by the user of a topic associated with the stimulus; storing classification data provided by the user; receiving classification data associated with the user; comparing the received classification data to at least a portion of the stored classification data previously provided by the user; and determining whether to authorize an action based at least in part on the comparison.

29. A computer program product embodied in a tangible non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
-
collecting information associated with at least one of a user'"'"'s use of a resource and demographic information associated with the user; performing a statistical analysis of at least one of the collected information and one or more previous responses to stimuli; selecting, based at least in part on the statistical analysis, one or more stimuli for which the user'"'"'s classifications are unlikely to be guessable; causing at least some of the selected one or more stimuli to be presented to the user; obtaining a user response to a stimulus in the presented stimuli, wherein the response comprises a classification by the user of a topic associated with the stimulus; storing classification data provided by the user; receiving classification data associated with the user; comparing the received classification data to at least a portion of the stored classification data previously provided by the user; and determining whether to authorize an action based at least in part on the comparison.
