Identification and authentication of a user using identity-linked device information for facilitation of near-field events

A computer-implemented method for identification and confirmation of a user entity associated with a near-field item, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a user device associated with the near-field item, via a carrier network comprising at least a carrier device, an electronic data transmission associated with the user device and indicative of response, by the user device, to a near-field verification prompt received in response to a near-field event associated with the near-field item, wherein the carrier device is configured to inject the electronic data transmission with identity-linked device information via a header enrichment process;
• determining an identification confirmation indicator based on the identity-linked device information;
• transmitting, to the user device, an identification completed notification configured to cause the user device to forward a portion of the identification completed notification to a service provider device associated with the near-field event, wherein the forwarded portion of the identification completed notification comprises at least access information for retrieving the identification confirmation indicator;
• receiving, from the service provider device, an identification verification query comprising at least the access information;
• and
• transmitting the identification confirmation indicator to the service provider device in response to the identification verification query.

A computer program product for identification and confirmation of a user entity associated with a near-field item, the computer-program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer program instructions stored therein, the computer program instructions configured to, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• receive, at the processor from a user device associated with the near-field item, via a carrier network comprising at least a carrier device, an electronic data transmission associated with the user device and indicative of response, by the user device, to a near-field verification prompt received in response to a near-field event associated with the near-field item, wherein the carrier device is configured to inject the electronic data transmission with identity-linked device information via a header enrichment process;
• determine an identification confirmation indicator based on the identity-linked device information;
• transmit, to the user device, an identification completed notification configured to cause the user device to forward a portion of the identification completed notification to a service provider device associated with the near-field event, wherein the forwarded portion of the identification completed notification comprises at least access information for retrieving the identification confirmation indicator;
• receive, from the service provider device, an identification verification query comprising at least the access information;
• and
• transmit the identification confirmation indicator to the service provider device in response to the identification verification query.
