Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An embodiment of the invention provides a method for controlling access to a system, wherein a request to access the system and metadata of the request are received from a user, the request including a user identification. The metadata includes: information obtained from a history of prior accesses to an application access system, information obtained from a history of prior accesses to a wireless authentication system, and/or confirmation of the user identification by an entity physically proximate to the user. A database is queried with the user identification and the metadata to identify relationship data. The relationship data indicates the relationship between the individual assigned the user identification and an entity owning the system, an entity leasing the system, and/or an entity operating the system. The relationship data is input into a rules engine; and, security measure(s) are selected with the rules engine based on the relationship data.
