Abstract
A device may receive traffic flow information that includes user device identifiers. The device may receive, from a user device accessing an application associated with a third party service, an authentication request to authenticate the user device with a third party device that provides the third party service. The request may include a session token that identifies a session, an application identifier that identifies the application, and a user device identifier that identifies the user device. The device may determine to authenticate the user device based on whether the user device identifier matches one of the user device identifiers included in the traffic flow information. The device may provide, to the third party device, the session token and an indication of whether the user device has been authenticated to permit the third party device to allow or deny access to the third party service.
