Abstract
Techniques user or user device authentication using data based on social associations and interactions of users or user devices are presented herein. In an aspect, a method includes receiving social graph transaction history data associated with a user identity of a user and contact information associated with the user identity, wherein the social graph transaction history data includes data relating to usage of the contact information for communication between users via respective user devices. The method further includes analyzing the social graph transaction history data, and based on the analyzing, determining a degree of confidence that the user identity is authentic.
Claims47
A method, comprising:
- employing at least one processor to execute computer executable instructions stored on at least one non-transitory computer readable medium to perform operations, comprising:
- receiving social graph transaction history data associated with a user identity of a user and contact information associated with the user identity, wherein the social graph transaction history data includes data relating to usage of the contact information for communication between users via respective user devices;
- analyzing the social graph transaction history data;
- and
- based on the analyzing, determining a degree of confidence that the user identity is authentic.
A system, comprising:
- a memory having computer executable components stored thereon;
- and
- a processor, communicatively coupled to the memory, configured to facilitate execution of the computer executable components, the computer executable components comprising:
- a gathering component configured to receive social graph transaction history data associated with a user identity and associated contact information, wherein the social graph transaction history data includes data relating to usage of the contact information for communication between users via respective user devices;
- and
- a verification component configured to analyze the social graph transaction history data to determine a degree of confidence that the user identity is not a false identity.
A tangible computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-readable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a computing system to perform operations, comprising:
- receiving social graph transaction history data associated with a user identity and associated contact information, wherein the social graph transaction history data includes data relating to usage of the contact information for communication between users via respective user devices;
- receiving social graph data associated with the user identity, wherein the social graph data includes data defining associations between the user identity and other users;
- comparing the social graph transaction history data to the social graph data;
- identifying a correlation or miscorrelation between the social graph data and the social graph transaction history data;
- and
- determining a degree of confidence that the user identity is representative of a true user based in part on the identifying the correlation or the miscorrelation.
