Methods and systems are provided for user authentication in communication systems. An identification token may be generated in response to an action in a user terminal, with the action in the user terminal requiring an action in a remote server, with generating the identification token being triggered in response to a request from the user terminal that necessitates performing the action in the remote server, and with the identification token associated with a time stamp indicating when a network identifier is used by the user terminal to send the request. User authentication information associated with one or both of the network identifier and the time stamp may be obtained, the user authentication information may be sent to one or both of the user terminal and the remote server for authenticating the user in the communication network.

User authentication in communication systems

Methods and systems are provided for user authentication in communication systems. An identification token may be generated in response to a user terminal loading a web page from a web server, with the identification token associated with a time stamp indicating when a network address is used by the user terminal, and with generating the identification token being triggered in response to a request from the user terminal to load the web page. User authentication information, associated with the network address and the time stamp, may be obtained and sent to one or both of the user terminal and the web server for authenticating the user of the communication network. Triggering the generating of the identification token may include instructing the user terminal to request the identification token and/or identifying the network address in response to the request from the user terminal to load the web page.

Methods and systems are provided for user authentication in communication systems. An identification token may be generated in response to a request from a user terminal to load a web page. The identification token may comprise a network address associated with the user terminal, and a time stamp indicating when the network address was used by the user terminal. User authentication information relating to the identification token may then be obtained to authenticate a user of the user terminal. The user terminal may be instructed to request the identification token in response to requesting the web page.
