Abstract

An apparatus for authenticating subscriber communications at a network server includes a determining element and an identification element in communication with the determining element. The determining element may be configured to receive an incoming message. The identification extractor may be configured to extract a device identifier and an address identifier from the incoming message. The determining element may be further configured to determine whether the device identifier and the address identifier of the incoming message match both a registered device identifier and a registered address identifier associated with the registered device identifier, respectively.
