20210312441 | Flexible Identity and Access Management Pipeline - A system and a method are disclosed for context-based verification flows for digital identity verification. A context-based verification system provides flexible identification procedures for various enterprises that adapted to the enterprises' services, the enterprises' customers, and these customers' needs. For example, the context-based verification system determines a first and second verification flows associated with a first enterprise and a third verification flow associated with a second enterprise. These verification flows include context parameters and verification parameters. The context-based verification system determines context parameters of a request, or “request context parameters,” when a user requests to interact with the first enterprise and determines a verification flow associated with context parameters that substantially match these request context parameters. The context-based verification system may determine that the first verification flow's context parameters substantially match the request context parameters and use the first verification flow's verification parameters to verify the user's identity. | 2021-10-07 |
