Systems and methods for enhanced authentication techniques using network-implemented location determination

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, storing a plurality of processor-executable instructions to:

• register a first device and a second device with a same particular identifier;
• receive an authentication request to authenticate the first device, the authentication request including the particular identifier and further indicating a first location associated with the first device;
• identify, based on the particular identifier, that the authentication request is further associated with the second device, the second device further being associated with a wireless network that monitors a location of the second device;
• receive, from the wireless network and based on identifying that the authentication request is associated with the second device, a second location associated with the second device;
• determine a distance between the first device and the second device by comparing the first location and the second location;
• compare the determined distance to a threshold distance;
• determine whether to accept or deny the authentication request based on comparing the determined distance between the first and second devices that have been registered with the same particular identifier to the threshold distance, wherein determining whether to accept or deny the authentication request includes:
• determining that the authentication request should be denied when the determined distance exceeds the threshold distance, and
• determining that the authentication request should be granted when the determined distance does not exceed the threshold distance;
• accept the received authentication request when determining that the authentication request should be accepted;
• and
• deny the received authentication request when determining that the authentication request should be denied.

A method, comprising:

• registering a first device and a second device with a same particular identifier;
• receiving an authentication request to authenticate the first device, the authentication request including the particular identifier and further indicating a first location associated with the first device;
• identifying, based on the particular identifier, that the authentication request is further associated with the second device, the second device further being associated with a wireless network that monitors a location of the second device;
• receiving, from the wireless network and based on identifying that the authentication request is associated with the second device, a second location associated with the second device;
• determining a distance between the first device and the second device by comparing the first location and the second location;
• comparing the determined distance to a threshold distance;
• determining whether to accept or deny the authentication request based on comparing the determined distance between the first and second devices that have been registered with the same particular identifier to the threshold distance, wherein determining whether to accept or deny the authentication request includes:
• determining that the authentication request should be denied when the determined distance exceeds the threshold distance, and
• determining that the authentication request should be granted when the determined distance does not exceed the threshold distance;
• accepting the received authentication request when determining that the authentication request should be accepted;
• and
• denying the received authentication request when determining that the authentication request should be denied.
