A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11882147B2) outlines a method for assessing the trustworthiness of digital requests to perform network actions. The method involves receiving a digital request from an unknown device, sending a query to trusted computing devices, generating a dynamic risk graph model based on responses to the query, and assigning a trust score to the request. This trust score determines whether the unknown device is allowed to perform the network action. The system also includes instructions for aggregating trust scores from multiple responses, comparing network actions to behavioral fingerprints, and utilizing a time-decay function to update risk probabilities.

Furthermore, the patent describes a system and a non-transitory computer-readable medium that implement the method outlined in the claims. These components enable the generation of trust scores by analyzing dynamic risk graph models and behavioral fingerprints. Additionally, the system includes instructions for handling multiple digital requests, sending queries to trusted computing devices, and providing indications to block unknown requestor devices based on their trust scores. Overall, the patented technology aims to enhance network security by effectively evaluating the trustworthiness of digital requests and preventing potentially harmful actions from unknown sources.
