Abstract
A method for determining a likelihood of fraud associated with an input identity record is disclosed herein. The disclosed method contemplates determining characteristics of the input identity record by examining content of one or more fields of the input identity record. Historical identity records related to the input identity record may then be retrieved so as to define a set of linked identity records. The method further includes computing one or more network-based features of the set of linked identity records. A fraud score may then be generated based upon the characteristics of the input identity record and the one or more network-based features.
