ASSERTING A MOBILE IDENTITY TO USERS AND DEVICES IN AN ENTERPRISE AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM

In an embodiment, a system for asserting a mobile identity to users and devices in an enterprise authentication system includes a communication interface and a processor coupled to the interface. The processor is configured to receive, via the communication interface and from a first device, a request to authenticate a user to a service using a unique identity associated with a second device. The processor is configured to determine, based at least in part on the unique identity, an identity certificate associated with the request, generate an identity assertion based at least in part on the identity certificate, and provide the identity assertion via the communication interface to a requesting node with which the request to authenticate is associated.
