Abstract
A technique provides malicious identity profiles. The technique involves storing unsuccessful authentication entries in a database, the unsuccessful authentication entries including (i) descriptions of failed attempts to authenticate users and (ii) biometric records captured from the users during the failed attempts to authenticate the users. The technique further involves generating a set of malicious identity profiles based on the descriptions and the biometric records of the unsuccessful authentication entries stored in the database. Each malicious identity profile includes a profile biometric record for comparison with new biometric records during new authentication attempts. The technique further involves outputting the set of malicious identity profiles. Such a set of malicious identity profiles is well suited for use in future authentication operations, i.e., well suited for predicting intruder attacks and fraud attempts, and for sharing risky identities among authentication systems (e.g., among different security products within a cybercrime detection network).
