Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for identity verification for at least one user to a text-based communication. An identity of at least one user to a text-based communication is verified by obtaining a plurality of characteristic features of at least one prior text-based communication between the at least one user and at least one additional user; comparing the plurality of characteristic features to a current session of the text-based communication; and verifying the identity of the at least one user based on a result of the comparison. The text-based communication can optionally be suspended if a user is not verified and/or an alarm can be generated.
