Abstract
The techniques herein are directed generally to providing access control and identity verification for communications when initiating a communication from an entity to be verified. In one embodiment an initiating device initiates a communication to a receiving device on a communication channel, wherein the receiving device is configured to determine whether an identity associated with the initiating device is verified by a verification service. The initiating device verifies the identity through a verification service client application on the initiating device, and conveys, to the verification service over a verification channel, that the identity associated with the initiating device is verified, wherein the verification service conveys, to the receiving device over the verification channel, that the identity is verified. The communication then continues with the receiving device on the communication channel, wherein the receiving device manages the communication from the initiating device according to the identity being verified.
