1. A computer-implemented method for providing access to a resource, the method comprising:

  • concurrently receiving, by a microphone associated with a user device, a primary broadcast audio signal, the primary audio signal including audio content for user consumption, and an enhanced broadcast audio signal, the enhanced broadcast audio signal including a resource identifier that is encoded in the enhanced broadcast audio signal, wherein the resource identifier is associated with the resource and wherein the enhanced broadcast audio signal further includes authentication information to authenticate the resource;

    detecting, by the user device, the resource identifier within the enhanced broadcast audio signal;

    extracting, via a processor, the resource identifier from the enhanced broadcast audio signal;

    transmitting, to a resolution server, a request for access information, wherein the request includes the resource identifier that was extracted from the enhanced broadcast audio signal and location information;

    receiving, from the resolution server, the requested access information for accessing the resource via the network;

    authenticating the resource with the resolution server based on the authentication data; and

    retrieving, by the user device, the resource using the received access information.
