Abstract
A system is configured to receive, from a user device, information associated with a request to receive a service from a server device, the information including a unique identifier, an identifier, associated with a user of the user device, being encoded with a key to obtain the unique identifier. The system may also be configured to extract the unique identifier from the information; retrieve, from a memory, the identifier, associated with the user, that corresponds to the unique identifier; obtain an indication whether the identifier, associated with the user, is trusted; perform one or more additional authentication operations on the user when the identifier, associated with the user, is trusted; and transmit, to the server device, a notification that indicates that the user is authenticated when the one or more additional authentication operations indicate that the user device is authenticated.
