Abstract
Devices and methods for granting requests for authorization using data of devices associated with requestors are disclosed. A method includes: receiving, by a computing device, a request for authorization; receiving, by the computing device, identification information for at least one device of a requestor; determining, by the computing device, a risk score using the received identification information for the at least one device of the requestor; and in response to the risk score exceeding a predetermined threshold, the computing device granting the request for authorization.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, a request for authorization;
- receiving, by the computing device, identification information for at least one device of a requestor;
- determining, by the computing device, a risk score using the received identification information for the at least one device of the requestor;
- and
- in response to the risk score exceeding a predetermined threshold, the computing device granting the request for authorization.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to:
- receive identification information for at least one device of a requestor;
- determine a risk score using the received identification information for the at least one device of the requestor;
- in response to the risk score exceeding a predetermined threshold, grant a request for authorization;
- and
- in response to the risk score not exceeding the predetermined threshold, request at least one of additional identification information or history information for the at least one device of the requestor.
A system comprising:
- a computer device including a hardware processor, a computer readable memory, and a computer readable storage medium;
- and
- a sensor network in communication with the computer device,
- wherein:
- in response to the computer device receiving a request for authorization, the sensor network is configured to receive identification information for at least one device of a requestor;
- the computer device is configured to determine a risk score using the identification information for the at least one device of the requestor received by the sensor network;
- and
- in response to the risk score exceeding a predetermined threshold, the computer device is configured to grant the request for authorization.
