TrustID user profiling (Internship/Master Thesis)

trustID is ELCA’s solution for identity management (Identity Provider) and Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) that was constructed based on a security by design principle. trustID solution enables to have a strong authentication mechanism to services that might deal with confidential and sensitive data (e.g. medical data, internal company data).

Being a security tool, trustID wants to ensure the security of user data and, besides the security protections put in place so far, wants to offer a service of detection for user anomalies or potential attacks (e.g. an attacker trying to impersonate a legit user).  

As it enables access to different online services, trustID records the activity of its users. The goal of this internship is to enhance the security protection with Machine Learning (ML) in order to do user profiling and detect anomalies in the behavior of a user. ML is already used in user profiling for recommendations systems (e.g. Netflix) and we believe it can be adapted for security use cases.
