Abstract
Techniques to facilitate detection of whether or not applications are executed on physical devices are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a mobile application that generates a web service request is executed on a computing system. The computing system executes a client security component of the mobile application to collect attributes associated with the computing system and an operating environment on which the mobile application is executing, and utilizes a mobile application programming interface to transfer the web service request including the attributes for delivery to a web server. The web server executes a server security component of a web service to extract the attributes from the web service request and process the attributes to determine whether or not the mobile application is being executed on a physical mobile device.
