Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for risk-based authentication between two servers on behalf of a user. A method is provided for controlling access by a consumer to a service provider on behalf of a user. An authentication request is issued responsive to an initial access request from the consumer to access the service provider on behalf of the user. An access token is provided to the consumer upon approval from the user to grant access to the consumer. Upon receiving a subsequent access request from the consumer with the access token to access the service provider on behalf of the user; a risk analysis is performed to determine if the subsequent access request should be granted. The risk analysis can determine if the subsequent access complies with one or more rules of the user. The user is optionally prompted to specify whether to allow the subsequent access request and/or future similar transactions.
