Device authentication using device-specific proxy addresses

摘要

Methods and systems for providing device authentication using device-specific proxy addresses are described. One example method includes associating a particular proxy network address with a device; receiving, over a network, a request to access a network resource, the request being received at the particular proxy network address; authenticating the device based on the particular proxy network address; and after authenticating the device, authenticating a user of the device based on user-specific credentials associated with the user.

1. A method performed by one or more data processing apparatuses, the method comprising:
associating a particular proxy network address with a particular device identifier; receiving, over a network, a request to access a network resource from a device, the request being received at the particular proxy network address and associated with a device identifier; determining whether the device identifier associated with the request matches the particular device identifier associated with the particular proxy network address; authenticating the device in response to determining that the device identifier associated with the request matches the particular device identifier associated with the particular proxy network address; in response to authenticating the device, authenticating a user of the device based on user-specific credentials associated with the user; and tracking a usage pattern of the device based on the user-specific credentials of the user of the device.
