    Abstract: A mobile number of a mobile device can be employed as an authorization factor when the mobile device is connected to a WLAN. When a user attempts to interact with a restricted access server via the mobile device, verification functions loaded on the mobile device determine whether the mobile device is connected to a WLAN. If so, the verification functions cause the mobile device to open a port on the cellular network interface of the mobile device and transmit data packets to a mobile device identification server via a cellular network. The mobile device identification server can then determine the mobile number of the mobile device based on the cellular network IP address of the mobile device, and transmit the mobile number to the restricted access server as an authentication factor.

    Abstract: An authorization process employs a network ID as a possession factor for a secure account, such as a bank account or e-mail account, and determines one or more risk indicators associated with the possession factor. The authorization process is successfully completed when a risk score that is based on the risk indicators is less than a certain risk threshold. The risk indicators include a device history of the network ID and/or at least one attribute of a cellular account associated with the network ID. The device history identifies other mobile devices and/or SIM cards, if any, that have been previously activated with the network ID, while the one or more attributes can further indicate potentially fraudulent activity associated with the cellular account through which wireless services for the network ID are currently provided.

    Abstract: A user activity, which may be a debit or credit card transaction or an online access, is approved, or proximity between two users is confirmed, based on a response or other acknowledgement from a mobile subscriber terminal. The mobile subscriber terminal acknowledgement is generated in response to a query from an authorizing entity associated with the debit or credit card, or another mobile subscriber terminal, and indicates whether or not the mobile subscriber terminal is within a maximum allowable radius from a specific location included in the query. It is noted that no specific location information is included in the mobile subscriber terminal acknowledgement. An application downloaded to the mobile subscriber terminal may generate the above-described acknowledgement.

    Abstract: A one-time password (OTP) is transmitted to an authorized wireless device for use an authentication factor, even though the OTP may be intercepted or otherwise viewed with an unauthorized device. When a secure request is initiated that requires entry of an OTP as an authentication factor, a hyperlink is transmitted to a wireless device from which the secure request is initiated. When the hyperlink is selected, a connection is established with an entity that determines mobile number information associated with the SSL connection. Comparison of the determined mobile number information and the mobile number of the wireless device to which the hyperlink was intended to be sent indicates whether the wireless device that has established the SSL connection is the authorized wireless device. The OTP is displayed on the wireless device after that device has been verified as the authorized wireless device.
