Provides a strong two-factor authentication service using mobile phones. The user enters the one-time password provided as a text message on his mobile phone, when prompted for it.

Tectia MobileID provides a strong two-factor authentication service through mobile phones. Instead of carrying a separate hardware token or installing a software application, the user enters the one-time password provided into his mobile phone as a text message. The one-time password can be pre-sent or delivered at login time using a high-priority operator channel. Tectia MobileID does not require any applications installed on the user's mobile phone making the user experience more efficient. Tectia MobileID Server uses the mobile phone numbers stored to internal or external directories of the corporation and provides multiple interfaces to integrate into the existing corporate applications and to keep the security processes and systems intact.

With Tectia MobileID users can:
  • Increase security for accessing critical systems with from end users.
  • Save on operational and maintenance costs with a tokenless solution.
  • Activate new users, partners, and ad-hoc accounts.
