Abstract
Briefly, example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture may be implemented, in whole or in part, to prove possession of a communications device, such as a mobile communications device. In a particular method, proving possession of a communications device may include receiving, from a client server, an indicator to indicate a communication services carrier servicing the communications device. The method may continue with generating a session identifier and a resource locator to direct the communications device to establish communications with an identity verifier at an address corresponding to the resource locator. The resource locator may be determined based, at least in part, on the indicator received from the client server. The method may additionally include the communications device transmitting one or more identifiers, determined, at least in part, from content stored within, or data derived from, memory of the communications device.
