Abstract
A context-aware adaptive authentication method may comprise: determining a context for a user; adjusting automatically an authentication configuration for the user based at least in part on the context, wherein different matching accuracies of an authentication algorithm for the same authentication input data are associated with respective authentication configurations; and performing an authentication of the user with the authentication configuration, wherein for the user under a safe context, the authentication is performed by decreasing a matching accuracy of the authentication algorithm.
