Abstract

An authentication agent for an information handling system includes a request module, a threshold table, and a comparison module. The request module receives a first request to access a secure resource of the information handling system, determines a first access level associated with the first request, and requests first confidence level information from the information handling system. The threshold table includes a first confidence threshold associated with the first access level. The comparison module compares the first confidence level information with the first confidence threshold. The authentication agent grants access to the secure resource at the first access level when the first confidence level information is greater than the first confidence threshold.
