Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products, for identification and confirmation of a user entity associated with a near-field item. An apparatus may be provided, the apparatus configured to receive, from a user device, an electronic data transmission associated with the user device and indicative of response to a near-field verification prompt. The electronic data transmission is received over a carrier network including a carrier device configured to inject identity-linked device information using a header enrichment process. The apparatus further determines an identification confirmation indicator based on the identity-linked device information; transmits, to the user device, an identification completed notification for forwarding to a service provider device; receives, from the service provider device, an identification verification query and, in response, provides the identification confirmation indicator. If successfully confirmed, a service provider device may provide services associated with the near-field item.
