An authenticating system and process for authenticating user devices to a access a service where access to certain portions of the service may be limited according to a access point or other device used by a user device to facilitate interfacing a user with the service. The authentication may be achieved without directly assessing a trustworthiness of the user devices, and optionally, without requiring a user thereof to complete a sign-on operation.

Zero sign-on authentication

Determination of a quantified identity using a multi-dimensional, probabilistic identity profiles is contemplated. The quantified identity may be used to authenticate a user entity provided to a point-of-sale device or other interface associated with identity requester in order to verify the corresponding users as who they say they are. The user identity may be determined initially as a function of user inputs made to the identity requester and/or as a function of wireless signaling exchange with devices associated with the user.

Quantified identity

A authenticating system and process for authenticating user devices to a access a media service where access to certain portions of the media service may be limited according to a gateway or other device used by a user device to facilitate interfacing a user with the media service. The authentication may be achieved without directly assessing a trustworthiness of the user devices, and optionally, without requiring a user thereof to complete a sign-on operation.

A method and system of authenticating a person is disclosed. The authentication may include verifying authenticity of the person when interacting with a point of sale system or other authenticating requesting device according to whether biometric information collected proximate in time to the authentication request sufficiently correlates with biometric information previously collected from trust sources.

Personal authentication

Delegation of authorizations from one device to another device is contemplated. The contemplated capabilities may enable an authenticated device to confer access tokens or other authoritative permissions to a non-authenticated or unsecured device, such as to enable the delegated device to access user content without the user having to enter a username and password or other identifying credentials thereto.
