SECURE IDENTIFICATION OF COMPUTING DEVICE AND SECURE IDENTIFICATION METHODS

摘要

The method implemented in a computing device makes it possible to identify this computing device and/or user to an application on the computing device. The method includes receiving a function call for the public identifier, responding to the function call, performing a hash operation, and returning the public identifier. Responding to the function call includes requesting a publisher ID at a first memory location in the device and requesting a personal ID at a second memory location. Performing a hash operation on the issuer ID and personal ID creates a public identifier. The public identifier is returned to the application. It also explains how to enable developers to test applications on mobile devices or emulators. Mobile devices programmed to return a public identifier to an application are also described.
