Scenario 1. Black list device

This scenario showcases how to blacklist devices. In this particular case, rooted mobile phones are not allowed by the bank of the scenario's actor.

Scenario actor: Alice ARNAUD

About this scenario - requests

The scenario consists of six requests that are sent to Risk Analytics. In the first four requests (RA_0101.a., RA_0101.b., RA_0101.c., and RA_0101.d.), Alice ARNAUD attempts to login, fails, tries again, and succeeds. This sequence is considered as normal and poses no risk.

Alice ARNAUD proceeds with an external transfer transaction in request RA_0101.e., which is again normal and poses no risk.

Finally (request RA_0102.), Alice ARNAUD attempts to login from a rooted mobile phone. As rooted devices are ruled as a very high risk by the bank, the rooted device - identified by its device ID - is inserted into the DEVICE_BLACK_LIST hot list, and the login attempt is declined (response code: Decline, Response = 1).
