Abstract:
Methods are detailed for online fraud prevention. In one approach state
information of a first and a second device is monitored, both of which
are associated with one user. During a multi-factor authentication
procedure which utilizes at least one of the first and the second devices
for authorizing a transaction by an Internet domain, a security server
participates in a supplemental security procedure which is conditional on
the monitored state information. In another approach the second device
receives a message that is ostensibly related to multi-factor
authorization by an Internet domain, and in response sends a query about
state information of the first device. Based on the response to the query
that indicates the state information, the second device performs a
supplemental security procedure.Claims:
