Abstract
A device receives a request to authenticate an end user of a user device based on a requested use of an application by the user device, and communicates with an authentication client, provided in the user device, to perform an authentication requested by the request. The device also generates a response to the request based on the communication with the authentication client, where the response indicates that the end user is or is not authenticated to use the application. The device further provides the response to an application server device hosting the application.
