Abstract
An authentication server, an application device and a probability-based user authentication system and method are disclosed. To simplify authentication while keeping a high level of security, the authentication server comprises at least an authentication probability evaluation module for determining a probability of requestor identification. The authentication server is configured to at least receive an authentication request from an authenticator, said authentication request comprises at least user identification data. The authentication probability evaluation module is configured upon reception of said user identification data to receive user behavior information, corresponding to the received user identification data from a user information database; and to determine a user probability value by comparing at least said user behavior information with authenticator application data. The requestor is authenticated in dependence of said determined user probability value.
