Contextual identification and information security

A computer-based system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a first input from a first device, wherein the first input comprises a device type, a device location, a current activity of the first device, a time since last interaction with the first device, or a most recent authentication type on the first device;
• receiving a second input from a second device associated with a particular individual;
• calculating a confidence score based on the first input and the second input, wherein the confidence score indicates a likelihood that a user of the first device is the particular individual;
• setting, based on the confidence score indicating that the user of the first device is the particular individual, a permissions level on the first device for the user of the first device, wherein the permissions level defines interactions that the user of the first device can take using the first device, wherein the permission levels comprise at least a first permissions level, a second permissions level, and a third permissions level;
• granting no user interactions with the first device for the first permissions level, wherein the first permission levels is set when the confidence score is below a first threshold score;
• granting partial user interactions with the first device for the second permissions level, wherein the second permissions level is set when the confidence score is above the first threshold score and below a second threshold score;
• granting full user interactions with the first device for the third permissions level, wherein the third permissions level is set when the confidence is above the second threshold score;
• receiving authorization from another user that allows the individual user to access a sub-persona owned by the other user which allows persona data of the other user to be shared with the individual user;
• launching a user session with the first device of the individual user, wherein the user session is customized using the persona data of the other user while the individual user has accessed the sub-persona owned by the other user;
• determining a privacy level of the first device based on a monitoring of device inputs, wherein the device inputs comprise at least a microphone of the first device, wherein the privacy level indicates whether the first device is currently residing in a public location or a private location;
• and
• limiting an amount of information displayed or spoken by the first device when the first device is determined to be residing in a public location.

An article of manufacture including a non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a computer-based system, cause the computer-based system to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a first input from a first device, wherein the first input comprises a device type, a device location, a current activity of the first device, a time since last interaction with the first device, or a most recent authentication type on the first device;
• receiving a second input from a second device associated with a particular individual;
• calculating a confidence score based on the first input and the second input, wherein the confidence score indicates a likelihood that a user of the first device is the particular individual;
• setting based on the confidence score indicating that the user of the first device is the particular individual, a permissions level on the first device for the user of the first device, wherein the permissions level defines interactions that the user of the first device can take using the first device, wherein the permission levels comprise at least a first permissions level, a second permissions level, and a third permissions level;
• granting no user interactions with the first device for the first permissions level, wherein the first permission levels is set when the confidence score is below a first threshold score;
• granting partial user interactions with the first device for the second permissions level, wherein the second permissions level is set when the confidence score is above the first threshold score and below a second threshold score;
• granting full user interactions with the first device for the third permissions level, wherein the third permissions level is set when the confidence is above the second threshold score;
• receiving authorization from another user that allows the individual user to access a sub-persona owned by the other user which allows persona data of the other user to be shared with the individual user;
• launching a user session with the first device of the individual user, wherein the user session is customized using the persona data of the other user while the individual user has accessed the sub-persona owned by the other user;
• determining a privacy level of the first device based on a monitoring of device inputs, wherein the device inputs comprise at least a microphone of the first device, wherein the privacy level indicates whether the first device is currently residing in a public location or a private location;
• and
• limiting an amount of information displayed or spoken by the first device when the first device is determined to be residing in a public location.
