Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for synchronizing device states across two distributed systems. Various embodiments include a convergence mechanism also referred to as a device resync engine. The basis of the present system and methods is that any and every operation done between the two distributed systems, via Application Programming Interfaces (API's), pushes the system towards re-synchronization. This is achieved by providing an active feedback of the user's device state on every user action. For example, a user performs an authentication on one device; the two systems complete the authentication and additionally ensure all states of all devices owned by the user are in sync. By performing these small corrections for every user, the present systems and methods are able to re-converge into a synchronized state while keeping compute expanses low and process efficient.
