Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for device connectivity-based authentication. An example method includes receiving, from a first device, an authorization request associated with a first action. The example method also includes receiving a current connectivity dataset from the first device which indicates one or more devices detected by the first device to be in communication with the first device. The example method also includes comparing the current connectivity dataset with a reference connectivity dataset. The example method also includes determining, based on the comparison, whether the current connectivity dataset and the reference connectivity dataset satisfy a predefined similarity threshold. The example method also includes authorizing, in an instance in which the current connectivity dataset and the reference connectivity dataset satisfy the predefined similarity threshold, the first device to perform the first action.
