METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING UNIQUE IDENTIFIER VALUES FOR APPLICATIONS AND SERVICES
First Claim
1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
- a request to generate one or more identifiers associated with a device, a user of the device, or a combination thereof, wherein the one or more identifiers are for use with one or more services, one or more applications, or a combination thereof;
at least one seed value associated with the device, the user of the device, or a combination thereof; and
a processing of the at least one seed value to cause, at least in part, a generation of the one or more identifiers.

Abstract
An approach is provided for adapting and regenerating identifiers for use in connection with applications and services available to a device. An identification generation platform receives a request to generate one or more identifiers associated with a device, a user of the device, or a combination thereof. At least one seed value associated with the device, the user of the device, or a combination thereof is determined. The platform then processes at least one seed value to cause, at least in part, a generation of the one or more identifiers.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, receive a request to generate one or more identifiers associated with a device, a user of the device, or a combination thereof, wherein the one or more identifiers are for use with one or more services, one or more applications, or a combination thereof; determine at least one seed value associated with the device, the user of the device, or a combination thereof; and process and/or facilitate a processing of the at least one seed value to cause, at least in part, a generation of the one or more identifiers. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
