What is Adaptive Authentication?
Adaptive Authentication is the process of gathering additional attributes about users and their environments and evaluating the attributes in the context of risk-based policies. The goal of Adaptive Authentication is to provide the appropriate risk-mitigating assurance levels for access to sensitive resources by requiring users to further demonstrate that they are who they say they are. This is usually implemented by "step-up" authentication. Different kinds of authenticators can be used to achieve this, some of which are unobtrusive to the user experience. Examples of step-up authenticators include phone/email/SMS One Time Passwords (OTPs), mobile apps for push notifications, mobile apps with native biometrics, FIDO U2F or UAF transactions, hardware tokens, SmartCards, and behavioral biometrics.
Behavioral biometrics can provide a framework for continuous authentication, by constantly evaluating user behavior to a baseline set of patterns. Behavioral biometrics usually involves keystroke analysis, mobile "swipe" analysis, and even mobile gyroscopic analysis.
