Abstract
Secure architectures and methods for improving the security of mobile devices are disclosed. Also disclosed are apparatuses and methods to detect and mitigate fraud in device-assisted services implementations.
Claims20
A method for use by a system including one or more processors, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the one or more processors from a first end-user device of a plurality of end-user devices, a request for a device credential, the request including a device identifier;
- generating, by the one or more processors and in response to the request, the device credential;
- storing, by the one or more processors and in response to the request, the device credential in a database;
- sending, by the one or more processors and in response to the request, the device credential to the first end-user device;
- receiving, by the one or more processors, a first application credential associated with a first application installed on the first end-user device;
- generating, by the one or more processors, a signed application credential based on the first application credential and the device credential stored in the database;
- and
- sending, by the one or more processors, the signed application credential to the first end-user device.
