Authentication policy for editing inputs to user-created content

An information handling device, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to:
• identify a sensitivity level associated with user-created content;
• detect editing input provided to the user-created content by a user, wherein the detecting comprises identifying a predetermined activity performed by the user and wherein the predetermined activity provides one of:
• accepted editing input and unusual editing input;
• determine a type of continuous authentication policy to implement for the user-created content based upon the sensitivity level, wherein the determining comprises dynamically elevating the type of continuous authentication policy for at least a portion of the user-created content subsequent to determining the predetermined activity performed by the user is unusual editing input;
• and
• authenticate, responsive to determining the predetermined activity provides accepted editing input, the user providing the editing input at a frequency dictated by the type of the continuous authentication policy, wherein the frequency for authenticating the user is directly proportional to the sensitivity of the document, wherein the authenticating comprises receiving approval from a previously authenticated user that the unusual editing input present is accepted editing input.

A product, comprising:

• a storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:
• code that identifies a sensitivity level associated with user-created content;
• code that detects editing input provided to the user-created content by a user wherein the code that detects comprises identifying a predetermined activity performed by the user and wherein the predetermined activity provides one of:
• accepted editing input and unusual editing input;
• code that determines a type of continuous authentication policy to implement for the user-created content based upon the sensitivity level, wherein the code that determines comprises dynamically elevating the type of continuous authentication policy for at least a portion of the user-created content subsequent to determining the predetermined activity performed by the user is unusual editing input;
• and
• code that authenticates, responsive to determining the predetermined activity provides accepted editing input, the user providing the editing input at a frequency dictated by the type of the continuous authentication policy, wherein the frequency for authenticating the user is directly proportional to the sensitivity of the document, wherein the code that authenticates comprises receiving approval from a previously authenticated user that the unusual editing input present is accepted editing input.
