Phishing-resistant and silent: strong, SIM-based customer authentication
If SMS OTP, email verification, or card readers are your current MFA options, it's time to upgrade to SIM-based auth and get the best of both worlds: strong security and great experience.
Connect to leading mobile operators with one global platform
The challenge
It's time to modernise authentication
MFA is now a must-have
Knowledge factors such as username and password provide poor account protection in an age of rampant identity fraud.
Low MFA adoption is a security risk
Current MFA options force consumers into disjointed account journeys, causing high friction and low MFA adoption.
MFA needs to become ubiquitous
Simplifying authentication for the customer while strengthening security creates both a safer digital world and a delightful UX.
SIM-based authentication: frictionless, phishing-resistant, and in everyone's pocket
Phishing-resistant
Phishing attackers rely on stealing knowledge remotely. tru.ID verifies only the unique SIM in the real user's device.
No more MITM attacks
With no account credentials to intercept, SIM-based authentication with tru.ID is impervious to man-in-the-middle attacks.
Tamper-proof
The SIM card is based on cryptographic security that is difficult to clone. With tru.ID authentication, formidable mobile network security is now available to apps.
Strong device binding
The pairing of the mobile phone number with its SIM provides stronger proof of possession than verifying the mobile number alone using weaker methods.
SIM authentication
Stronger MFA for your app, simpler UX for your users
Strong possession factor
The combination of SIM authentication and the mobile phone number provides a proven, secure framework for verifying the mobile identity of customers.
Frictionless UX
Although users have become accustomed to 'security theatre', no one enjoys effortful account journeys or difficult transactions. Make life easier for your users with strong, yet silent auth.
The best of both worlds: strong security, simple for users
Authentication UX that's easy and secure
Improve verification by removing unnecessary steps in the onboarding journey. Wherever you use the mobile number as a credential, you can simplify it by using SIM auth.
Everyone's phone transformed into an MFA device
Replace expensive card readers or token for your most valuable customers, and use their smartphone as a strong security device.
Continuous protection of user access
Verify your users silently in the background every time they log in on a mobile device, or use push notifications to authorise desktop logins from your app.
tru.ID: truly different
Let us show you how tru.ID can transform your user account authentication. Get in touch.
Network authentication that turns every mobile into a strong MFA possession factor
Real-time verification, directly with the network
tru.ID uses an API to verify the mobile number and SIM card with the mobile operator in real-time – so you can confirm the pairing of mobile identity, not just the phone number, providing strong device binding.
SIM swap checks trigger step-up challenges
Unlike other MFA methods, tru.ID verification detects recent SIM change activity. If detected, step-up security can be implemented to reduce the risk of account takeovers from SIM swap fraud.
Easy deployment using simple APIs
tru.ID is a modern API platform for mobile verification built to the OIDC standard. With a developer-friendly console and testing app, comprehensive tutorials for leading code stacks, and SDKs for Android and iOS apps, you'll have personalised support to get started.
