Collaborative cloud identity and credential forgery and abuse defense

Abstract

A system and method for providing a cloud identity verification exchange service which ingests a plurality of identity assertion data from various Identity Providers and/or Service Providers and aggregates the ingested plurality of data into a master global authentication ledger. The system and method comprise: a data ingestion engine configured for acquiring, extracting, and loading data into the system as well as providing hashing capabilities; a metadata manager for collecting, organizing, and cataloguing ingested data based on collected metadata; and database for storing the master global authentication ledger. The master ledger acts as a central repository that consolidates authentication objects from various Identity Providers, allowing for centralized authentication management, auditing, reporting, and analysis. It provides a comprehensive view of authentication activities across multiple systems and enables the tracking of user authentication events across different identity providers.
