Abstract
Methods and systems for managing requests for functionalities of a data repository are disclosed. The data repository may store sensitive data (e.g., personal data), and may offer functionality (e.g., data access) in order to facilitate computer-implemented services. To prevent unauthorized access to and/or use of the sensitive data, an access control system may be implemented. For example, in order to gain access to data stored in the data repository, the access control system may prompt a requesting user to provide responses to security questions during authentication. The security questions may be based on details of personal experiences of the authorized user (e.g., identified from the personal data of the authorized user) and may be updated automatically when new data is introduced to the data repository. Therefore, the responses to the security questions required for authentication may be memorable to the authorized user and/or difficult to predict for unauthorized users.
