IDENTITY AUTHENTICATION BASED ON DATA FROM INTERNET OF THINGS DEVICES

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for identity authentication in a data processing system, including: receiving, by the processor, an authentication request from a user; receiving, by the processor, real-time data from one or more Internet of Things (IoT) devices associated with the user; generating, by the processor, one or more questions based on the real-time data; receiving, by the processor, one or more responses to the one or more questions from the user; comparing, by the processor, the one or more responses from the user with one or more correct answers identified by the processor. If the one or more responses match the one or more correct answers, providing, by the processor, the user with a successful identity authentication.
