Abstract
There is disclosed a method and system for use in authenticating an entity. An entity location history is stored comprising a historical record of locations visited by the entity. An authentication request is received from the entity. A pattern of recent locations visited by the entity indicative of irregular behavior is detected. An analysis is performed between the pattern of recent locations indicative of irregular behavior and the entity location history for establishing the riskiness of the authentication request. An authentication result is generated based on the analysis between the pattern of recent locations indicative of irregular behavior and the entity location history.
