Abstract

One embodiment provides a method, including: identifying an attempt to access an application installed on an information handling device, a request; receiving, in response to the attempt to access the application, a coded data set at the information handling device; identifying a target application associated with the coded data set; and causing the target application to access the coded data set. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

identifying an attempt to access an application installed on an information handling device;

receiving, in response to the attempt to access the application, a coded data set at the information handling device;

identifying a target application associated with the coded data set; and

causing the target application to access the coded data set.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the coded data set comprises application identification information and a verification code.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the identifying a target application comprises identifying a target application associated with the application identification information.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the application identification information comprises a target application signature.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the identifying a target application comprises comparing the target application signature to a plurality of applications to determine the target application.

6. The method of claim 2, wherein the application identification information comprises a target application package name.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the identifying a target application comprises comparing the target application package name to a plurality of applications to determine the target application.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the coded data set is received from a data server.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising requesting verification data from the data server.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the requesting comprises automatically requesting verification data when the target application is initiated.

11. An information handling device, comprising:

a processor;

a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to;

identify an attempt to access an application installed on an information handling device;

receive, in response to the attempt to access the application, a coded data set at the information handling device;

identify a target application associated with the coded data set; and

cause the target application to access the coded data set.

12. The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the coded data set comprises application identification information and a verification code.

13. The information handling device of claim 12, wherein the instructions executable by the processor to identify a target application further comprise instructions executable by the processor to identify a target application associated with the application identification information.

14. The information handling device of claim 12, wherein the application identification information comprises a target application signature.

15. The information handling device of claim 14, wherein the instructions executable by the processor to identify a target application further comprise instructions executable by the processor to compare the target application signature to a plurality of applications to determine the target application.

16. The information handling device of claim 12, wherein the application identification information comprises a target application package name.

17. The information handling device of claim 16, wherein the instructions executable by the processor to identify a target application further comprise instructions executable by the processor to compare the target application package name to a plurality of applications to determine the target application.

18. The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the coded data set is received from a data server.

19. The information handling device of claim 18, wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to automatically request verification data from the data server when the target application is initiated.

20. A product, comprising:

a storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and comprising;

code that identifies an attempt to access an application installed on an information handling device;

code that receives, in response to the attempt to access the application, a coded data set at the information handling device;

code that identifies a target application associated with the coded data set; and

code that causes the target application to access the coded data set.
