Abstract

A system for secure delegated authentication for applications may include one or more processors and a memory. The one or more processors perform operations including receiving a request from an application to retrieve a user authorization associated with a service provider. The operations also include authenticating the application in response to the request, the application being assigned a first identifier to associate the request with the application. The operations also include communicating the request to the service provider upon the application being authenticated. The operations also include receiving a response from the service provider, the response identifying a particular application associated with the service provider. The operations also include comparing the first identifier with at least a portion of the response to determine a match. The operations further include forwarding the received response to the application if a match is determined.
