Claim One:
1. A method of performing multifactor user authentication in a computing device, comprising: monitoring, via a processor of the computing device, an activity of a software application operating on the computing device to collect behavior information; using the collected behavior information to generate a behavior vector that characterizes the monitored activity of the software application; applying the generated behavior vector to a classifier model to generate an analysis result; using the generated analysis result to compute at least one value, the computed at least one value including one or more of a transaction type criticality value, a user confidence value, a software integrity confidence value, and a historical behavior value; using the computed at least one value to determine a number of authentication factors that are to be evaluated when authenticating a user of the computing device; using the computed at least one value to determine which authentication factor to use for each of the number of authentication factors that are to be evaluated when authenticating the user of the computing device; and authenticating the user by evaluating the determined number of the determined authentication factors.
