Strong OTP Authentication by SMS

Strong SMS authentication with One Time Password (OTP)

With cybercrime on the rise, companies are looking to reduce the risk of fraud without hindering users in their account creation/management processes. Several solutions exist, but how to adopt the one that will be the most efficient and secure while minimising costs?

A strong two-factor authentication via SMS allows you to reinforce your security system while benefiting from an easy and inexpensive implementation. Indeed, by sending an SMS including a one-time password (OTP), you benefit from a reinforced security for all connections to your systems.

In what situations should I use the SMS OTP?

You can mainly use this type of SMS for the purpose of securing online payments made by credit card. But the "One Time Password" SMS can be used for many other purposes.

smsmode© recommends that all companies using personal accounts with private data for their users implement a strong SMS authentication system.
For example, you can increase the secure connections to your application or to unsecured networks with the OTP SMS by sending temporary passwords.
The same applies when a new customer registers, check his phone number to ensure theaccuracy of information. This process guarantees certified database.
It is also possible to set up a electronic signature system which would enable contracts to be validated remotely using the generated code.

What are the benefits of using SMS authentication?
  • A significant convenience for the end user: the use of the mobile phone in the security process makes it possible to receive a code very quickly on a medium that is close at hand. During your immediate reception periods, the transmission of a unique code by SMS secures the operation of your system.
  • A universal medium that works on all mobile terminals and all global networks: the user will feel secure and will be aware of the security system that protects their personal data.
  • the collection of your customers' telephone numbers, in a certified manner, in order to enrich your contact database with quality data: in fact, thanks to the OTP, when a customer registers on your website, he has the possibility to enter his telephone number. This number is not always valid and your database is then erroneous. When they register, a code will be sent to them by SMS so that they can validate their number directly on your application or website.
  • Seamless integration and ease of administration: the cost of setting up this service is entirely free, you will only be charged for the SMS messages sent.
