Abstract
A method includes: receiving a request regarding access by a first computing device (e.g., a mobile device of a user) to a service; in response to the request, performing, by a second computing device (e.g., a device risk evaluation server, or a server of an identity provider), an evaluation that includes creating a fingerprint of the first computing device; and determining, by the second computing device, whether the fingerprint matches a fingerprint of one or more other computing devices. The second computing devices determines whether to authorize access to the service based on the evaluation.
