Claim One:
1. A computerized method for authenticating an electronic transaction, comprising: accessing a first data characteristic of a purported authorized user of an electronic system measured performing a first prescribed interaction with an input device of the electronic system; accessing a first probability distribution representation for an authorized user performing the first prescribed interaction; accessing a first probability distribution representation for a wide population performing the first prescribed interaction; determining a first value indicative of whether the purported authorized user is the authorized user, utilizing (a) the first data characteristic of the purported authorized user, (b) the first probability distribution representation for the authorized user, and (c) the first probability distribution representation for the wide population; accessing a second data characteristic of the purported authorized user of the electronic system performing a second prescribed interaction with an input device of the electronic system; accessing a second probability distribution representation for the authorized user performing the second prescribed interaction; and accessing a second probability distribution representation for the wide population performing the second prescribed interaction; determining a second value whether the purported authorized user is the authorized user, utilizing (a) the second data characteristic of the purported authorized user, (b) the second probability distribution representation for the authorized user, and (c) the second probability distribution representation for the wide population; and authenticating the electronic transaction, if a total value, based on the first value and the second value, is above a prescribed threshold.
