Source device for systems and methods of verifying an authentication using dynamic scoring

A method of verifying an authentication, comprising:

• receiving, at a processor of a verification unit from a source device, an identification feature;
• generating, by the processor of the verification unit, a base verification score associated with a user based on at least one identification input, the identification input comprising the identification feature, a feature validity rating, a source device validity rating, an age of the identification feature, a verification provided by a third party for the identification feature, and a validity rating of the third party, wherein
• the feature validity rating comprises a value that is increased or decreased by the processor based on a relative reliability of the identification feature,
• the source device validity rating comprises a value that is increased or decreased by the processor based on a relative reliability of a location of the source device, an operator of the source device, and whether the source device has been inspected and verified,
• the age of the identification feature comprises a weight that is increased or decreased by the processor based on the age of the identification feature,
• the validity rating of the third party comprises a value based on an evaluation by the processor of the reliability of the third party that provided the verification for the identification feature, and
• the base verification score is generated by the processor based on an identification feature weight that is calculated by the processor based on the feature validity rating, the source device validity rating, the age of the identification feature, the verification provided by the third party for the identification feature, and the validity rating of the third party;
• comparing, by the processor of the verification unit, the base verification score with a service authorization threshold score associated with the service in response to a request to access a service;
• and
• granting, by the processor of the verification unit, access to the service when the base verification score meets the service authorization threshold score.

A method of verifying an authentication, comprising:

• receiving, at a processor of a verification unit from a source device, an identification feature;
• determining, by the processor of a verification unit, a base verification score associated with a user based on at least one identification input, the identification input comprising the identification feature, a feature validity rating, a source device validity rating, an age of the identification feature, a verification provided by a third party for the identification feature, and a validity rating of the third party, wherein
• the feature validity rating comprises a value that is increased or decreased by the processor based on a relative reliability of the identification feature,
• the source device validity rating comprises a value that is increased or decreased by the processor based on a relative reliability of a location of the source device, an operator of the source device, and whether the source device has been inspected and verified,
• the age of the identification feature comprises a weight that is increased or decreased by the processor based on the age of the identification feature,
• the validity rating of the third party comprises a value based on an evaluation by the processor of the reliability of the third party that provided the verification for the identification feature, and
• the base verification score is generated by the processor based on an identification feature weight that is calculated by the processor based on the feature validity rating, the source device validity rating, the age of the identification feature, the verification provided by the third party for the identification feature, and the validity rating of the third party;
• receiving, at the verification unit from the source device, a request to access a service;
• determining, by the processor of a verification unit, a session verification score associated with the user based on the base verification score and at least one second identification input, the second identification input comprising a second identification feature, a second feature validity rating, a second source where the second identification feature is received, and a second source validity rating;
• comparing, by the processor of a verification unit, the session verification score with a service authorization threshold score associated with the service;
• and
• granting, by the verification unit, access to the service when the session verification score meets the service authorization threshold score.
