Abstract:
Systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products are provided for determining a user's authentication requirements/credentials for a specific service access request based on determining a location along a an authentication continuum. The location along the authentication continuum defines the degree of authentication/credentials required to access the service and is determined based on a current state of the user and/or service attributes. The more or less that is known about the current state of the user, in comparison to historical data about the user, the more or less likely the user is, in fact, the user that is attempting to access the service and, thus, the authentication requirements required to access the service can be adjusted according (increased or decreased).
