Abstract
A system and method for augmented user and site authentication from mobile devices is disclosed herein. The system and method provides for the performing of strong authentication of users, whether human or otherwise, as well as of site authentication, which is optimized for use when such users access a system from a mobile device using a web browser or mini-web browser. In doing so the claimed invention utilizes multiple different heuristic algorithms and/or scoring values for device identification based on the type of mobile device, and may further identify the specific type of device attempting such access.
