Authentication challenges based on fraud initiation requests

Abstract:

Systems for issuing authentication challenges based on fraud initiation requests are provided. The system may calculate a fraud risk level based on a fraud initiating request comprising identity-based data. In response to the fraud risk level indicating a risk of fraud, the system may generate an authentication challenge based on an authentication challenge type and an authentication challenge delivery channel. The system may transmit the authentication challenge and receive back an authentication challenge response. The system may verify the authentication challenge response and generate an authentication outcome based on the verification.
