The authenticator monitors authentication requests received from the client device, determines whether a number of the monitored authentication requests that are failed authentication requests, and determines mobility of the client device during the monitored authentication requests. Authenticity of the client device is determined based on one of the determined number of failed authentication requests and the determined mobility of the client device.
