Abstract
A method and medium are provided for identifying a client application residing on a mobile communications device. The mobile device detects installation of a new client application, and provides information about the client to an application registration catalogue (ARC) on the mobile network. The ARC returns an application identifier corresponding to the client, which the mobile device inserts into access request headers sent by the client over the mobile network. By also including a request to update the identifier with a custom client identity agreed upon by a content provider or developer, mobile networks provide a trusted method of forwarding access requests to content providers.
