Provided is dynamic and flexible authentication based on an interaction over a communications link between a user device and a financial entity. A set of interactions enabled at the user device are categorized into different levels, each level comprises a different authentication policy. At about the same time as an interaction is initiated at the device, an authentication policy assigned to the interaction is accessed and a security challenge is activated at the device. Based upon a successful response to the security challenge, an enablement of the communications link is continued. Based upon an unsuccessful response to the security challenge, the communications link is disabled.

Flexible authentication

A computer-implemented method includes: generating a GUI including a first button selectable to register identity information and a second button selectable to request identity information; receiving, in response to the first button being selected, pieces of identity information regarding a customer; receiving a preference for each piece of identity information from the customer that governs distribution of identity information to requesting parties; generating a customer-specific key; provisioning the key to an identification chip of a customer computing device; transmitting the graphical user interface to a computing device of a requesting party other than the customer; receiving, in response to the second button being selected, the key, a request for identity information, and an identity of the requesting party; identifying the customer based on the key; determining that a preference for the requested piece of identity information is met; and providing the requested piece of identity information to the requesting party.

Systems and methods for federated identity management

A computing system includes a network interface configured to communicate data over a network, a vendor database configured to retrievable store vendor data related to a vendor of interest, and a processing circuit with a processor and memory. The memory is structured to store instructions that are executable by the processor and cause the processing circuit to identify a vendor of interest; conduct a search of internal documents and external resources to obtain the vendor data related to the vendor of interest, store the vendor data in the vendor database, and generate a vendor performance score based on the vendor data.

Systems and methods for vendor intelligence

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media utilized for event-based authentication. One method includes recognizing an event and receiving, from a device, a withdrawal request of a user, wherein the withdrawal request includes a captured feature by the device. The method further includes determining that the user is associated with the recognized event using at least a geographic proximity between the event and the withdrawal request, wherein the geographic proximity is a given radius around a location of the event, and wherein the device is within the given radius and adjusting authentication rules based on the determination that the user is associated with the recognized event, wherein the adjustment of the authentication rules includes adjusting a matching threshold between the captured feature and a reference feature. The method further includes processing the withdrawal request for the user based on the adjusted authentication rules.

Event-based authentication

A computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a federated identity computing system, identity information from a customer; receiving, by the computing system, preferences for the identity information from the customer, wherein the preferences govern distribution of the identity information to requesting parties; generating, by the computing system, a key specific to the customer; and provisioning, by the computing system, the key to an identification chip associated with the customer. The computer-implemented method further includes receiving, by the computing system, the key and a request for one or more pieces of the identity information from a requesting party and providing, by the computing system, the requested one or more pieces of identity information to the requesting party based on the key and the preferences.

Methods and systems of authenticating a user based on an event, such as a natural disaster, a gathering of people, and mass activities of people. The method comprises recognizing, by a financial institution computing system, an event; receiving, by the financial institution computing system, a transaction request of a user; determining, by the financial institution computing system, that the user is associated with the recognized event; adjusting, by the financial institution computing system, authentication rules for the user; and processing, by the financial institution computing system, the transaction request for the user based on the adjusted authentication rules.
