Questions around this news
What does the partnership between Sekura.id and Jio provide?
The partnership is intended to extend Mobile Identity services to Jio customers in India. The release says these services support safer transactions and passwordless logins, and that the offering includes authentication, verification and fraud-prevention capabilities. It also describes the arrangement as expanding the provider’s reach in India alongside its existing supply relationships with other mobile operators.
How can mobile identity services support passwordless login?
Mobile identity services can use information associated with a customer’s mobile subscription and SIM card to help confirm identity during login. Depending on the service and setup, this can reduce reliance on a user entering a password or a one-time code sent by text. The release describes real-time SIM-based services, but does not detail the technical steps for each login.
What is SMS OTP replacement?
An SMS one-time password is a temporary code sent by text message to help verify a user during sign-in or another transaction. Replacing SMS OTP means using another authentication method instead of asking the user to retrieve and enter that code. The release says the partnership will bring SMS OTP replacement to a wider subscriber base, but does not specify the replacement method for every use case.
Which Mobile Identity services does Sekura.id say it will offer in India?
The release describes authentication, verification and fraud-prevention services, as well as passwordless login and frictionless authentication. It also names SIM swap and Mobile to Person Matching services among the company’s offerings. The announcement says the partnership will bring new products to the Indian market, but it does not provide a launch schedule or a detailed list of those products.
