A system and method, implementable using an authenticating device, are provided for authenticating requesting devices such as mobile devices and other communication devices over a network. At least one group shared secret is provisioned on a plurality of requesting devices, which are further provided with other authentication credentials such as a shared secret for full authentication by the authenticating device. When authentication is sought, the requesting device transmits a pre-authentication request comprising one of the group shared secrets to the authenticating device, which verifies that group shared secret. The group shared secrets may be stored in volatile memory at the authenticating device. If the group shared secret is verified, the authenticating device will authenticate that same device in response to a subsequent authentication request. |
