Abstract
In some embodiments, an apparatus includes an authorization module implemented in at least one of a memory or a processing device. The authorization module receives at a first time and from a first mobile application, a request for an access token associated with a second mobile application that includes an identifier associated with the second mobile application and a first random verification identifier. The authorization module provides to the first mobile application a signal representing an authorization code associated with the access token. The authorization module receives from the second mobile application at a second time a signal representing the authorization code, the identifier associated with the second mobile application, and a second random verification identifier. The authorization module provides a signal representing the access token to the second mobile application based in part on the first random verification identifier being equal to the second random verification identifier.
