Title:
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTHENTICATING INTERNET USER IDENTITY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2008011214
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
A method and system for authenticating an internet user identity by cross-referencing and comparing at least two independent sources of information. A first IP address of an internet user is identified and the geographical location of the first IP address is traced to determine a first location. The geographical location of a communication voice device of said internet user is identified to determine a second location. The first and second locations are compared for geographical proximity to confirm the identity of the internet user. Based upon geographical proximity of said locations, a score is assigned to the internet user, and access to a website is allowed or limited based upon the score. Alternatively, additional authentication information can be required or access can be terminated.
