Application: Third-party application risk assessment in an authorization service (Patent ID: US20230370488A1)
The patent filed by eBay Inc. describes a computer-implemented method for risk assessment in an authentication service. The method involves receiving an authorization request from a third-party application, determining risk assessment policies based on the class of the application, applying these policies to the request to obtain a risk assessment score, comparing the score to a threshold, and taking appropriate action based on the comparison. The actions can include sending an authorization message or executing a remedial action, such as suspending the application or limiting available actions. The risk assessment policies can be generated based on behavioral data collected for multiple applications within the same class, and machine learning can be applied to identify these policies.
Furthermore, the patent includes claims related to classifying third-party applications into different classes based on behavioral data, generating risk assessment policies, determining actions based on these policies, and performing actions in response to authorization requests. The method also involves comparing activity associated with the application to an activity profile for the class, determining risk assessment scores, and executing remedial actions if the score exceeds a threshold. The patent also covers computer storage media storing instructions for performing these operations and a computer system with a processor and storage medium for implementing the risk assessment method. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive approach to risk assessment in authentication services based on the class of third-party applications and their associated activities.
