Abstract
A user device may request access to a service provided by an application server. The application server may request that an identity server authenticate the user device. The identity server may have a network authentication system assist with the authentication of the user device. Once authenticated by the network authentication system, the application server may be informed and may grant the user device access to the requested service. Additionally, the identity server may help determine whether the user device is a security threat by comparing user information from the network authentication system with user information from the application server. Additionally, the network authentication system may provide the application server with user information to enable the application server to automatically register the user device for a particular service.
