DYNAMIC ADJUSTMENT OF AUTHENTICATION MECHANISM

摘要

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method and technique for dynamic adjustment of authentication mechanism is disclosed. The method includes: collecting location data of one or more agents relative to an agent attempting to authenticate to a data processing system; determining if the location data meets a threshold value; and responsive to the location data meeting the threshold value, relaxing an authentication scheme for the attempting agent to authenticate to the data processing system.

1. A method, comprising:
collecting location data of one or more agents relative to an agent attempting to authenticate to a data processing system, the data processing system including first and second authentication schemes, the second authentication scheme being lower in strength than the first authentication scheme, the data processing system configured to apply the first authentication scheme for authentication requests; determining if the location data meets a threshold value; and responsive to the location data meeting the threshold value, dynamically selecting the second authentication scheme instead of the first authentication scheme to apply for authenticating the attempting agent to the data processing system.
