Multi-factor authentication using positioning data

A system, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• memory having computer-readable instructions stored thereupon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
• receive a first input indicating an authentication request of a user;
• receive positioning data indicating a current location of a computing device that is associated with the user;
• determine whether the positioning data indicates that the current location of the computing device is within a predetermined geographic area;
• determine whether an additional verification procedure indicates that the user is physically present within the predetermined geographic area while the positioning data indicates that the current location of the computing device is within the predetermined geographic area, wherein the additional verification procedure comprises receiving a second input indicating that the user is physically located within the predetermined area;
• authenticate the user for providing access to a secured resource based at least on determining that the current location of the computing device is within the predetermined geographic area and confirming execution of the additional verification procedure;
• and
• generate permission data that revokes access to the secured resource based at least on determining that a pattern of movement is inconsistent with a predetermined pattern of movement.

A computer-implemented method for restricting user access to a secured resource to a predetermined geographic area, comprising:

• receiving first input data indicating an authentication request of a user, wherein the authentication request corresponds to the user requesting access to the secured resource;
• in response to the first input data, confirming a first authentication factor in association with the authentication request by:
• receiving positioning data indicating a current location of a computing device that is associated with the user, and
• determining, based on the positioning data, that the current location of the computing device is within the predetermined geographic area;
• in response to the first input data, confirming a second authentication factor, that is independent from the first authentication factor, in association with the authentication request by:
• generating a request that indicates a requested operation that is to be performed with respect to one or more computing devices that are known to be physically present within the predetermined geographic area, and
• receiving second input data, that is different than the first input data, that is generated based on the requested operation being performed with respect to the one or more computing devices that are known to be physically present within the predetermined geographic area;
• and
• providing the access to the secured resource in response to successfully confirming the first authentication factor and the second authentication factor that is different than and independent from the first authentication factor.
