Abstract
An intermediate server can receive a request from a mobile device to authorize a software application, transmit a secure ID included in the request to a social-networking system, receive an access token from the social-networking system indicating that the software application has been authorized, evaluate the access token for validity, and transmit a response to the mobile device indicating the software application is authorized. The secure ID can indicate that a user of the mobile device has been authenticated by the social-networking system. The access token can be valid when the access token and the secure ID both correspond to the user of the mobile device.
