Identity risk scoring

USPTO Application #: 20090006230
Title: Identity risk scoring
Abstract: An identity risk score may be determined for subscribers of a service to indicate a level of confidence or certainty associated with a subscriber's identity. The identity risk score may be modified upward or downward in order to reflect changing levels of certainty. The changes may be based on transactions performed on behalf of and/or information submitted by the subscriber. Functionality provided to the subscriber may also be dependent upon whether the subscriber's identity risk score meets a threshold. In one or more arrangements, an identity risk score may be determined based on whether information entered by the subscriber can be confirmed and a level of confidence with which the information is confirmed. (end of abstract)

  monitor keywords BACKGROUND

The protection and security of an individual or entity's identity is critical in virtually every facet of society. Similarly, the security and validity of an individual or entity's identity is equally important for the protection of an organization in taking the risk of interacting with the individual or entity. From banking to joining social organizations to making financial transactions, an organization or company must generally have a degree of certainty about an entity's identity to reduce risks associated with engaging in such activities with the entity. Thus, companies or other entities may generally perform some form of identity verification prior to engaging in a transaction with another entity.
