Patent attributes
Various embodiments of the present invention generally relate to identity authentication and/or recognition. Some embodiments provide a method for determining when a user may engage in a restricted activity, including engaging in an initial contact with a user via a channel, acquiring identifying information relating to the user, receiving, from the user, a request to engage in an activity, determining an activity trust threshold required for the activity, based on the identifying information, determining an initial identity trust score for the user based on the identifying information, comparing the initial identity trust score with the activity trust threshold. Based on the comparison, the user is either allowed to engage in the activity, rejected from engaging in the activity, or additional identifying information is collected.
