Abstract
A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for using a mobile device to authenticate a user to access a secure facility. An authentication service determines whether the mobile device of the user is locked. The authentication service requests the user to unlock the mobile device and determines whether the user has unlocked the mobile device. The authentication service retrieves, from the mobile device, a first token and a MAC address. The authentication service retrieves, from a database, a token identifier of the mobile device and a personal identifier of the user. The authentication service generates a second token, based on the token identifier, the personal identifier, and the MAC address. The authentication service determines whether the first and the second tokens match. The authentication service grants the user access to the secure facility, in response to the first and the second tokens matching.
