Abstract
Embodiments are directed to methods, apparatuses, computer readable media and systems for authenticating a user on a user device across multiple mobile applications. The identity of the user is validated by encoding and subsequently validating cryptographically encrypted data in a shared data store accessible by the mobile applications tied to the same entity. Specifically, the application leverages the authentication process of a trusted mobile application (e.g. a banking mobile application) to authenticate the same user on a untrusted mobile application (e.g. a merchant mobile application).
