Abstract
A technique performs authentication before delivering a token to a client device. The technique involves receiving a first message from a first application on the client device, the first message including a token request and a first set of authentication factors. The technique further involves receiving a second message from a second application on the client device, the second message including an authentication request and a second set of authentication factors. The technique further involves generating a result message which (i) provides access to a token for use by the client device when the first set of authentication factors is consistent with the second set of authentication factors, and (ii) rejects the token request when the first set of authentication factors is inconsistent with the second set of authentication factors. The client device may be a mobile device, and the first and second messages may be received via wireless communications.
