US Patent 9824199 Multi-factor profile and security fingerprint analysis

A security fingerprint architecture is disclosed. A security fingerprint comprises one or more behavioral factors which store a history of events associated with one or more users. The data in the security fingerprint is exposed by one or more modes, each of which determines the conditions that data in the security fingerprint may be accessed. Security fingerprints support a number of primitive operations that allow set operations to be performed. Security fingerprints may be used in for authentication, advertising, and other operations either alone, or in conjunction with third party data sources. An exemplary platform of security fingerprints built upon a cellular infrastructure is also disclosed.
