1. A method, comprising:
initiating, from an initiating device, a communication to a receiving device on a communication channel, wherein the receiving device is configured to determine whether an identity of a user using the initiating device is verified by a verification service associated with the initiating device and whether the identity of the user using the initiating device is attested by an attestation service;
verifying, by the initiating device, the identity of the user using the initiating device based on whether or not the user has logged into a verification service client application on the initiating device;
conveying, from the initiating device to the verification service over a verification channel, and in response to the identity of the user using the initiating device being verified by the verification service client application, that the identity of the user using the initiating device is verified, wherein the verification service is caused to convey, to the receiving device over the verification channel, that the identity of the user using the initiating device is verified; and
continuing, by the initiating device with the receiving device, the communication on the communication channel, wherein the receiving device is caused, in response to the identity of the user using the initiating device being attested and verified, to manage the communication from the initiating device according to the identity being verified.
