Abstract
Techniques to authenticate user requests involving multiple applications are described. An apparatus may comprise a logic circuit, and a user interface component operative on the logic circuit to present to a user content from a primary application, handle user commands directed to the primary application, and verify the user to a secondary application using an identifier value that is generated by the primary application for authenticating the user. In one embodiment, the user interface component submits the identifier value to the secondary application in a request for certain content. After determining whether the identifier value is valid, the secondary application provides the requested content or deny the user'"'"'s request. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

9. A computer-implemented method for verifying a user identity, comprising:
-
processing a request comprising an identifier value from a server, the identifier value to correspond to a device requesting content from the server, determining whether the identifier value is valid, and communicating to the server data to indicate whether the device engaged in a valid session. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. An article of manufacture having at least one computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed, cause a system to:
-
process user identity data comprised in a request to provide content; use the user identity data to request a valid session identifier for the user identity; and based upon the valid session identifier and the user identity data, determine whether to respond to the request with the content. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
