Cross-channel user authentication is provided, to increase resilience of a computerized system to cyber-attacks and to fraudulent transactions. In a demonstrative scenario, a user utilizes his web browser on his laptop computer to log-in to a web server; which in turn extracts the IP address of the laptop computer. The web server triggers an application server to send a Push Notification to a Mobile App that had been installed on a smartphone of that user who just logged in; and that Push Notification causes that smartphone to respond to the application server with the IP address of the smartphone. If the IP address of the computer is not identical to the IP address of the smartphone, then the servers determine that the log-in attempt on the computer was possibly fraudulent, and fraud mitigation operations are initiated. Optionally, geo-location data, device orientation data, device motion data, or other parameters are used as part of the cross-channel authentication process.

System, device, and method of cross-channel user authentication

A method includes matching at least one device-associated contact from a list of contacts on a mobile device with at least one web-associated contact from another list of contacts associated with a web-based application and downloading media content associated with the at least one web-associated contact to the mobile device with an indication of the device-associated contact with which it is to be associated. The mobile device launches media content associated with a contact on the occasion of call related activity with the contact.
