ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a method and system for use in security authentication in a network environment. The present invention enables shared security information by networked devices. It also allows access to networked devices on the basis of authentication surety. The system assigns surety levels on the basis of the modes and methods of user authentication to the network. Further, the present invention allows the gradual decay, of user authentication and thus access to networked devices over time. Further still, the present invention distinguishes between individual identities and personas within the network environment. Surety levels associated with an authentication provide a predetermined level of access to networked devices or device features. The present invention provides improved security and diminishes the risk of fraudulent access to a network via identity theft.
