Abstract
A system and methodology for adaptive selection of multiple modalities for authentication in different operating environments, thereby making authentication strategy unpredictable so to significantly reduce the risk of exploitation by authentication-guessing attacks. The system calculates trustworthiness values of different authentication factors under various environmental settings, and combines a trust-based adaptive, robust and scalable software-hardware framework for the selection of authentication factors for continuous and triggered authentication with optimal algorithms to determine the security parameters of each of the authentication factors. A subset of authentication factors thus are determined for application at triggering events on-the-fly, thereby leaving no exploitable a priori pattern or clue for hackers to exploit.
