What do I mean by context? Well, context can include information such as:
Device registration and fingerprinting
Device fingerprinting is typically a two-stage process: On first-time authentication, the solution registers an endpoint, and on subsequent authentications it validates the endpoint against the stored device fingerprint. The device fingerprint comprises a set of characteristics about that endpoint, such as:
- Web browser configuration
- Language
- Installed fonts
- Browser plug-ins
- Device IP address
- Screen resolution
- Browser cookie settings
- Time zone
