Abstract

A method is used in authenticating a mobile device user. An authentication invocation from a mobile device for access to computer resource is activated. Device unique identifiers and device forensic information are collected. The device unique identifiers and the device unique identifiers are forwarded to a gateway. An OTP is resolved into a unique device identifier using an authentication server. The device identifier is adaptively authenticated using multiple authentication factors.
