Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to providing authentication of access while reducing user input and, specifically to a method, apparatus, and computer program product for receiving device identification information from both a secured system indicating devices with authorization and from a third party telecommunications carrier indicating the mobile device account attempting to access a service provider. Embodiments provided include an apparatus configured to receive, from a mobile device, identification information associated with the mobile device. The apparatus further comprises computing an encrypted hash of the identification information and initiating a search of a registry for a matching entry that matches the encrypted hash of the identification. In an instance when an entry matches the encrypted hash of the identification information, the apparatus further comprises prompting the service provider to grant the mobile device access to one or more services provided by the service provider.
