Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: receiving, by an electronic apparatus, a plurality of authentication requests, wherein the plurality of authentication requests comprises at least one authentication request with post-authentication feedback and at least one authentication request with no post-authentication feedback; based on the post-authentication feedback, determining, by the electronic apparatus, a status that is applicable to the at least one authentication request with the post-authentication feedback, wherein the status comprises one of a genuine and a fraudulent status; based on the no post-authentication feedback, determining, by the electronic apparatus, that a genuine status is applicable to the at least one authentication request with the no post-authentication feedback; determining, by the electronic apparatus, at least one distinctive attribute associated with the plurality of authentication requests; based on the status of the plurality of authentication requests, assigning, by the electronic apparatus, the status of the plurality of authentication requests to the at least one distinctive attribute associated therewith; performing, by the electronic apparatus, a computation for the at least one distinctive attribute based on the status assigned thereto, wherein the computation produces a computational result that is indicative of the risk associated with the at least one distinctive attribute; providing, by the electronic apparatus, the computational result to an authentication system; and based on the provided computational result, processing, by the authentication system, authentication requests that comprise the attribute.
