Methods and systems for using data processing systems in order to authenticate parties

摘要

Methods and systems perform authentication based at least in part of the context of the transaction. In one embodiment, the context can be determined and trigger different rules with regard to access to the information or ability to immediately execute the transaction. In another embodiment, a method can include registering a device as a trusted device. The device can include a biometric input module. Biometric data can be used to authenticate a user, and the user may be requested to resubmit biometric data during the same session. In a further embodiment, a hacker may obtain unauthorized access to a victim's account information. The hacker may not be authenticated because he would not have access to a currently valid credential.
