Abstract
A computer device configured to passively authenticate a user includes a memory device including a user profile, and at least one processor coupled to the memory device. The at least one processor is programmed to execute a passive authentication system programmed to receive an indication that the user successfully performed an active authentication by interacting with the computing device, and set an authentication state of the user as authenticated in response to the successful active authentication. The passive authentication system is further programmed to receive a first plurality of interaction data indicative of one or more interactions between the user and the computer device, the one or more interactions performed after the indication of the successful active authentication; compare the one or more interactions to the user profile; and update the authentication state of the user based on the comparison.
