Method and apparatus to regulate a digital security system that controls access to a resource

摘要

A method and system regulate a digital security system that controls access to a resource. The digital security system controls access to the resource according to a multi-level security protocol including a high-security-level access protocol and a low-security-level access protocol. The regulation method and system are configured to collect data from a set of user-data sources with which the user interacts during his daily life and, based on the collected data, to compute security parameters characterizing user activity. The computed security parameters are compared to a digital profile that models the characteristic behaviour of this user. When the comparison indicates that the observed user activity is inconsistent with the digital behaviour profile, the method and system regulate the digital security system to set (or maintain) it in an operating state such that, when the user requests access to the resource in the future, the digital security system will automatically implement the high-security-level access protocol at that time.
