Abstract
Systems and methods for automatically authenticating an incoming call are disclosed. In one implementation a method for automatically authenticating an incoming call includes receiving a call from a calling device. The call includes an identifier associated with the calling device. The method further includes receiving, separately from the call, authentication data associated with a device or a user, determining, using the identifier and the authentication data, that the authentication data is associated with the same calling device that initiated the call, verifying the authentication data, and based on a result of the verification, determining that the call is initiated by an authenticated device or user.
