Windows Phone 7 C# Device and User Info

Recently I was thinking of a way to confirm the user info inside an app.

Is the typed email, the windows phone live-id of the device?

Is the typed number, the windows phone card-number of the device?

All I know until now is that I can get some info from windows phone SDK.

For DeviceId (hash) I use DeviceEctendedProperties, based on device serial i suppose

For UserId (hash) I use UserExtendedProperties, based on user live id i suppose

And with that we can identify a user and a device.

To get the right info from user like email and phone number you must ask him. So the question: Is there any way to validate the user entry?

For example:

App -> Form - > form_info(email, phone) -> Validate(form_info) -> Success OR Unsuccess

For Validate() i was thinking of something like:

form_info -> function_hasher() -> form_info_hash -> IF form_info_hash MATCHES with UserId (hash) and UserPhone (hash)

If there is a UserPhone hash to match the number of card!

I'm pretty sure there's no way to get this data or even verify that it's right, short of asking the user to email/SMS a particular address/phone number. If you want to go that route you can use a SmsComposeTask or an EmailComposeTask.
