A method and apparatus for using cryptographically signed secure identifiers to detect fraud during network based transactions are described. The method may include receiving a transaction from a user device, the transaction comprising a secure identifier purported to be associated with the user device, and the transaction further comprising transaction data. The method may also include extracting a first identifier and a second identifier from the secure identifier purported to be associated with the user device, and then regenerating a true second identifier using the first identifier. Furthermore, when it is determined that the true second identifier matches the second identifier extracted from the secure identifier purported to be associated with the user device, the method may include determining that the secure identifier is valid, and processing the transaction based at least in part on the determination that the secure identifier is valid.
