Abrégé

Techniques and systems for optimizing and cleaning rules for network-based authentication transactions are provided herein. A network-based authentication system may determine a plurality of rules that were previously used to evaluate a plurality of transactions. The network-based authentication system may also generate a false positive rate for one or more of the plurality of rules, A cleaning coefficient for a first rule of the plurality of rules may be generated by the network-based authentication system. Based on the cleaning coefficient and the false positive rate, the network-based authentication system may identify one or more rules from the plurality of rules to eliminate from the plurality of rules. The network-based authentication system may eliminate the one or more rules to generate a modified set of rules. Using the modified set of rules, the network-based authentication system may authenticate a network transaction.

Abrégé

Techniques and systems for detecting malicious activity within a network are provided herein. A method for detecting malicious activity within a network may include receiving, by a network-based authentication system, a network transaction. The network-based authentication system may identify a first attribute of the network transaction. The method may also include selecting, by the network-based authentication system, a first learning statistical model and a second learning statistical model from a plurality of models for handling the network transaction. Each of the first learning statistical model and the second learning statistical model may create a likelihood that the network transaction is authentic. The first learning statistical model may calculate a first score and the second learning statistical score may calculate a second score. Based on a comparison of the first score to a first threshold and the second score to a second threshold, the network transaction may be authenticated.

Abrégé

Techniques and systems for determining a malicious derivative entity within a network are provided herein. A method for determining a malicious derivative entity may include receiving, by a network-based authentication system, a plurality of network transactions. A first attribute of a network transaction within the plurality of network transactions may be identified. The method may also include identifying a plurality of entities for the first attribute. The network-based authentication system may generate a first visual representation of a relationship between the first attribute and the plurality of derivative entities. Each of the derivative entities and the first attribute may be represented as nodes within the first visual representation. A first score for each of the nodes may be determined based on a degree of centrality of the nodes within the first visual representation. One network transaction may be blocked based on at least one node exceeding a first threshold.

Abrégé

A card number and an address are requested from a customer at a POS device. An AVS system compares the customer-provided address against a billing address or record for the card that is maintained by a card issuer. If the address provided by the customer matches the billing address of record, a second card number is requested from customer. That second card number is sent to the AVS system and the billing address stored by the issuer for the second card number is also checked against the address provided by the customer.
