Method and system for machine identification

摘要

A method and system for identifying a machine used for an online session with an online provider includes executing a lightweight fingerprint code from a provider interface during an online session to collect and transmit machine and session information; generating and storing a machine signature or identity including a machine effective speed calibration (MESC) which may be used to identify the machine when the machine is used in a subsequent online session by a method of matching the machine signature and MESC to a database of machine identities, analyzing a history of the machine's online sessions to identify one or more response indicators, such as fraud indicators, and executing one or more responses to the response indicators, such as disabling a password or denying an online transaction, where the response and response indicator may be provider-designated.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
providing fingerprint code from a provider interface to a first machine; receiving first machine information from the first machine, the first machine information is based on executing the fingerprint code on the first machine; generating a first machine identity using the first machine information, wherein the first machine identity corresponds to the first machine; comparing the first machine identity to stored machine identities; in response to finding a second machine identity that is similar to but does not match the first machine identity:
identifying a compensating factor in the first machine information;manipulating the first machine identity for the compensating factor;determining whether the manipulated first machine identity matches the second machine identity; anddetermining that the first machine identity and the second machine identity both correspond to the first machine when the manipulated first machine identity matches the second machine identity.
