Utilizing gaming behavior in user authentication
A system includes at least one hardware processor in communication with a gaming device and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the at least one hardware processor to perform operations including receiving suspect gaming behavior data associated with a suspect user playing a computer game on the gaming device, comparing the suspect gaming behavior data to a user gaming behavior profile associated with another user, the user gaming behavior profile includes at least one component of behavior associated with the other user and the computer game representing a pattern of conduct of the other user, and based on the comparing, authenticating the suspect user for access to a target system as the other user.

receiving, via the API, suspect gaming behavior data associated with a suspect user playing the computer game on a gaming device, the suspect gaming behavior data including a component of behavior;
comparing the component of behavior in the suspect gaming behavior data to the at least one component of behavior in the user gaming behavior profile associated with the first user, the computer game representing a pattern of conduct of the first user; and
based on the comparing, authenticating the suspect user for access to a target system as the first user.

The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one component of behavior includes a first component of behavior data associated with interaction behavior of the first user during a playing session of the computer game and a second component of behavior data associated with device behavior data of the first user during the playing session.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one component of behavior includes a type of the gaming device used to play the computer game.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one component of behavior is associated with cerebral behavior of the first user during a playing session of the computer game, the cerebral behavior identifying a distribution of time in different categories of conduct within the computer game.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one component of behavior is tailored to the computer game.
8. A system comprising:
at least one processor; and
a storage device comprising instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, configure the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving, via an application programming interface (API), first gaming behavior data associated with a first user playing a computer game, the first gaming behavior data including at least one component of behavior;
storing, in a data store, a user gaming behavior profile created using the at least one component of behavior, the user gaming behavior profile stored as associated with the first user;
receiving, via the API, suspect gaming behavior data associated with a suspect user playing the computer game on a gaming device, the suspect gaming behavior data including a component of behavior;
comparing the component of behavior in the suspect gaming behavior data to the at least one component of behavior in the user gaming behavior profile associated with the first user, the computer game representing a pattern of conduct of the first user; and
based on the comparing, authenticating the suspect user for access to a target system as the first user.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one component of behavior is associated with interaction behavior of the first user during a playing session of the computer game, the interaction behavior associated with a common opponent played in the computer game.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one component of behavior is associated with interaction behavior of the first user during a playing session of the computer game, the interaction behavior associated with team events in the computer game.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one component of behavior includes a first component of behavior data associated with interaction behavior of the first user during a playing session of the computer game and a second component of behavior data associated with device behavior data of the first user during the playing session.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one component of behavior includes a type of the gaming device used to play the computer game.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one component of behavior is associated with cerebral behavior of the first user during a playing session of the computer game, the cerebral behavior identifying a distribution of time in different categories of conduct within the computer game.
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one component of behavior is tailored to the computer game.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by at least one processor, configure the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving, via an application programming interface (API), first gaming behavior data associated with a first user playing a computer game, the first gaming behavior data including at least one component of behavior;
storing, in a data store, a user gaming behavior profile created using the at least one component of behavior, the user gaming behavior profile stored as associated with the first user;
receiving, via the API, suspect gaming behavior data associated with a suspect user playing the computer game on a gaming device, the suspect gaming behavior data including a component of behavior;
comparing the component of behavior in the suspect gaming behavior data to the at least one component of behavior in the user gaming behavior profile associated with the first user, the computer game representing a pattern of conduct of the first user; and
based on the comparing, authenticating the suspect user for access to a target system as the first user.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the at least one component of behavior is associated with interaction behavior of the first user during a playing session of the computer game, the interaction behavior associated with a common opponent played in the computer game.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the at least one component of behavior is associated with interaction behavior of the first user during a playing session of the computer game, the interaction behavior associated with team events in the computer game.
