Abstract:

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media provide a requesting device with access to a service. In one implementation, a server receives a request to access a service, and the request includes a device type identifier of a device requesting access to the service. The server extracts the device type identifier from the request and determines a corresponding device type for the requesting device. An authentication module is selected from a plurality of authentication modules based on the device type identifier, and the selected authentication module implements an authentication scheme for the device type of the requesting device. The server authenticates the request using the selected authentication module to determine whether the requesting device is permitted to access the service, and provides access to the service based on at least a determination that the requesting device is authorized to access the service.
