Use cases
Connect to leading mobile operators with one global platform
Passwordless, secure mobile authentication
From the founders of
Ubiquitous mobile identity. Seamless user experience.
Cryptographic security.
The mobile number and SIM is a powerful pairing to provide a strong possession factor for MFA. Upgrade to SIM-based authentication and leave the many problems of password-based systems behind.
Only real mobile identities
no more virtual or burner mobile numbers
Stronger 2FA than SMS OTP
replace SMS OTP or magic links for strong, seamless and silent 2FA/MFA
Zero user effort
no more forgotten passwords, app switching to register or login, or auth codes to input
Private
a URL-based lookup for zero trust, zero knowledge, and no PII
Like magic.
tru.ID provides the same authentication experience as a network itself - no need to login, and it's secure and seamless.
SIM security, now an API
Until tru.ID, network authentication was only available to operators themselves, or enterprise. Now, tru.ID offers an API platform, supported by guides and tutorials.
Possession factor using SIM security
tru.ID leverages the cryptographic security of the SIM card to verify the user’s mobile number, a pairing that is unique. We call this pairing SIM-based authentication.
Connected to mobile networks
tru.ID partners with global Mobile Network Operators to provide real-time access to the same SIM-based authentication used to bill and connect mobile customers.
Connects to mobile networks in real-time
tru.ID’s partners with global mobile network operators to provide access to their authentication systems. If your business uses the mobile phone number as a credential – be it as part of registration, or access login, tru.ID looks up the number, matches it to the network, and asks – is this a valid subscriber? If the network replies ‘yes’, tru.ID returns a positive response. It's a URL-based lookup with no personal data exchanged.
Seamless SIM-based authentication
tru.ID verifies the user’s mobile number with the SIM card identity, a pairing that is unique and near impossible to copy or tamper with. We call this pairing SIM-based authentication. There’s nothing more the user needs to do than enter their mobile phone number, which is checked against the network's SIM authentication using a URL-based lookup over a data connection.
A developer-first global API platform
Until tru.ID, access to network-level authentication systems was only available to the mobile operators themselves, or to enterprise customers. tru.ID changed all that and built a developer-first API platform. Integrate once, then scale as you expand, be it nationally or globally, supported by comprehensive guides and tutorials for Android, iOS, ReactNative, and Web.

Authentication, reimagined
The password is an anachronism, SMS OTP is open to fraud, auth apps are cumbersome, and hardware is expensive. It's time to build a new standard of identity and access management - SIM-based MFA.
