Interlinked geo-fencing
Arrangements for generating geo-fences for automatically authenticating a user or authorizing event processing are provided. In some examples, user data associated with a location of the user or mobile device of the user may be received. Further, data associated with successful processing of an event may be received. In some arrangements, this data may be used to generate a first geo-fence. The geo-fenced area may be considered a trusted zone within which a user may be automatically authenticated and/or events may be automatically authorized and/or processed. In some examples, additional user data may be received and analyzed using machine learning to predict second or subsequent geo-fence locations. Based on the analyzed data, one or more additional geo-fences or geo-fenced areas may be generated and interlinked with the initial geo-fence.
