Abstract

Systems and methods for application identification in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment, a user device includes a processor and memory configured to store an application, a session manager, an application identifier, and at least one shared library, and the processor is configured by the session manager to communicate the application identifier and the application identifier data to an authentication server and permit the execution of the application in response to authentication of the application by the authentication server.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for providing an application with access to a shared library on a user device, the method comprising:
receiving a request for access to a shared library on a user device; verifying provisioning data stored on the user device containing an application identifier; verifying the shared library stored on the user device using a library manifest containing information that can be used to identify and verify the shared library; negotiating a session token key with the shared library using the user device; and providing a session token encrypted with the session token key to the application using the user device, wherein the session token key grants access to the shared library.
