Verifying an application identifier on a mobile device through a telecommunication network

摘要

A system for verifying an association between an application and a mobile computing device. The application is identified by an application instance identifier, which uniquely identifies the instance of the application on the mobile computing device. The system receives a request to verify the application, including the application instance identifier. The system also obtains a mobile device identifier used to communicate with the mobile computing device. The system initiates one or more telephone call setup messages, which signal a voice call request, to the mobile computing device using the mobile device identifier. Based on receiving an indication that the one or more telephone call setup messages were detected at the mobile computing device, the system associates the application instance identifier with the mobile device identifier.

1. A computer-implemented method for verifying an association between a mobile computing device and an application, the method comprising:
receiving, by a computing system, a request to verify an application on a mobile computing device, wherein the request includes an application instance identifier associated with the application, the application instance identifier uniquely identifying the instance of the application on the mobile computing device; obtaining a mobile device identifier used to communicate with the mobile computing device; initiating, by the computing system, one or more telephone call setup requests directed to the mobile computing device using the mobile device identifier and signaling to the mobile computing device a voice call, the one or more telephone call setup requests associated with a voice channel, wherein the one or more telephone call setup requests are used in verifying an association of the application instance identifier with the mobile device identifier; and associating the application instance identifier with the mobile device identifier based on receiving an indication that the one or more telephone call setup requests were detected at the mobile computing device.
