Authentication system based on user login history comparison
The granted patent (Publication Number: US12003538B2) discloses an authentication system that utilizes order information of HTTP headers and navigator object properties to determine the legitimacy of a user attempting to log in to a web property. The system includes a memory storing instructions and order information of a first user, with a processor executing these instructions to receive credentials from a web browser of a user, determine the order information of the browser, and compare it with the stored order information to decide whether to allow access to the web property. Additionally, the system can request additional authentication factors based on the comparison of order information.
Furthermore, the patent details a method for operating the authentication system, involving the storage of reference order information for various web browser types. The method includes receiving credentials from a user's web browser, determining the browser's order information, requesting additional authentication factors if necessary, and making a decision on access based on the authentication factors, reference order information, and the browser's order information. This innovative system aims to enhance security measures by analyzing the order of HTTP headers and navigator object properties to prevent unauthorized access to web properties.
