Frictionless or near-frictionless 3 factor user authentication method and system by use of triad network

摘要

A system and method for the secure frictionless or near-frictionless authentication of a user's identity resulting in a determination signal that the user is who they claim to be, access granted, or is not who they claim to be, access denied. In one embodiment, a user accesses the login page of a website and, after a short pause, is granted access to a restricted website resource, for example their bank account. During the short pause signals are exchanged over a triad of telecommunication networks, from the webserver to an App on the user's cellphone where credentials and probability of possession are collected, encrypted and sent over near proximity network to the device being used to make the original login request that in turn forwards the accumulated authentication tokens to the webserver for verification. Upon success of the verification the user is granted access to the restricted resource, in this example, their bank accounts.
