Patent attributes
Various embodiments provide a means of user and/or device authentication by monitoring interaction based posture data received from the client device. Such interaction based posture data may include the particular manner in which a user interacts with the content on the client device or the client device itself, such as scroll patterns, touch pressure, touch duration, elements selected, typing speed, swipes, downloads, among other characteristics that make up a posture profile associated with an authorized user. Thus, interaction data received from the client device that deviates from the posture profile of the authorized user may be used to detect aberrant behavior, which may indicate that the client device has been comprised, such as the client device being used by a user other than the authorized user or the presence of malware. When aberrant behavior is detected a security protocol may be initiated to secure the device.
