• How can MNO’s take advantage
of the new opportunities in
Authentication

5. THE MOBILE NETWORK
OPERATORS AND THE FUTURE
OF AUTHENTICATION
11 November 2014
Alan Goode - Goode Intelligence

6. 1
• Two inter-connected megatrends:
• The rise of mobile computing
• Cloud and SaaS
• Mobile & Cloud – legacy authentication not fit for
purpose
• Failure of traditional of monolithic authentication
solutions:
• Passwords
• Siloed 2FA
• The need to support legacy IT

7. 2
• Putting the mobile at the heart of authentication and
identity
• Industry standards and initiatives facilitating
emergence of intelligent mobile-based
authentication
• OpenID Connect
• SAML
• GSMA Mobile Connect
• FIDO
• Leverage the security of the SIM and built-in
features of mobile for authentication

8. 3
• The first mile = using a mobile device as an
authenticator
• Leveraging native capabilities including
biometrics
• The second mile = connections to wider risk and
fraud management and authorisation services
• Importance of Identity Federation services
• Authenticate once & then access multiple
services
• Vital to smoothly connect first and second miles
• Seamless user experience

9. 4
• GSMA Mobile Connect provides a framework for
MNOs to deliver mobile-based authentication
services
• Opportunity to become a central part of modern
authentication ecosystem
• MNOs are logical owners of mobile authentication
and can leverage existing components and
infrastructure:
• SIM
• Subscriber Data

10. 5
• First-to-market for FIDO Ready™
Authentication with S3
Authentication Suite
• Powers fingerprint biometric
authentication for Alipay and
Paypal
• Reference model for mobile-based
authentication using FIDO
standards
• Leverages mobile device secure
hardware

“By 2017 there will over 990 million mobile devices (smart phones, phablets and
tablets) with fingerprint sensors. This number is set to increase further by the
following year when there will be well over one billion mobile devices – making
fingerprint sensors a common feature in mobile devices.”
Goode Intelligence, December 2013
