Abstract

Claims (31)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving, from a first computing device associated with a first user, identifying information associated with a second user;

transmitting, based on the identifying information, a request for data;

receiving the data from a second computing device associated with the second user;

dynamically generating a textual statement, at least a portion of the textual statement based on at least a first portion of the data;

receiving, via a first communication channel, a first communication that includes a media recording reciting the dynamically generated textual statement;

receiving, via a second communication channel, a second communication indicating a second portion of the data;

verifying, based on the first communication and the second communication, an authenticity of the second user; and

transmitting the data to the first computing device in response to the verification.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the data differs from the second portion of the data.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing, via the second communication channel, a message including a link; and

receiving, via the second communication channel, the second communication via the link.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein verifying the authenticity of the second user further includes determining that the first portion of the data of the second communication corresponds to the received data.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein verifying the authenticity of the second user further includes performing speech recognition of the media recording to verify that audio of the media recording includes recitation of the dynamically generated textual statement.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein verifying the authenticity of the second user further includes:

comparing image data of the media recording with verified image data of the second user; and

face matching the second user to the image data of the media recording based on the comparing.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising in response to verifying the authenticity of the second user, providing a communication to the first computing device including a notification that the second user is verified.

8. An information handling system comprising a processor having access to memory media storing instructions executable by the processor to perform operations, comprising:

receiving, from a first computing device associated with a first user, identifying information associated with a second user;

transmitting, based on the identifying information, a request for data; receiving the data from a second computing device associated with the second user;

dynamically generating a textual statement, at least a portion of the textual statement based on at least a first portion of the data;

receiving, via a first communication channel, a first communication that includes a media recording reciting the dynamically generated textual statement;

receiving, via a second communication channel, a second communication indicating a first snippet derived from the data;

verifying, based on the first communication and the second communication, an authenticity of the second user; and

transmitting the data to the first computing device in response to the verification.

9. The information handling system of claim 8 , wherein the first portion of the data differs from the second portion of the data.

10. The information handling system of claim 8 , the operations further comprising:

providing, via the second communication channel, a message including a link; and

receiving, via the second communication channel, the second communication via the link.
