System and method for transferring device identifying information

Abstract:

Disclosed are various examples for transferring device identifying information during authentication. In some examples, an authentication request is transmitted to an identity manager. Instructions to negotiate a ticket are received from the identity manager. A ticket is negotiated from a key distribution center using a certificate comprising a unique device identifier of the client device. The unique device identifier is embedded in the ticket by the key distribution center based on verification that the certificate is valid. Authentication of the client device is completed through the identity manager using the ticket.
