Abstract
Aspects of the technology described herein provide a mechanism for controlling access to secure computing resources based on inferred user authentication. A current user may be authenticated and access to secure computing resources permitted based on a determined probability that the current user is a legitimate user associated with the secure computing resource. Legitimacy of the current user may be inferred based on a comparison of user-related activity of the current user to a persona model, which may comprise behavior patterns, rules, or other information for identifying a legitimate user. If it is determined that the current user is likely legitimate, then access to secure information may be permitted. However, if it is determined that the current user is likely illegitimate, than a verification procedure may be provided to the current user, such as a temporal, dynamic security challenge based on recent activity conducted by the legitimate user.
