This classic implementation of Mobile Connect, utilizing PIN entry on the mobile phone – that is “something I have and something I know” – is now being further enhanced by utilizing Morpho’s new integration of facial recognition capability into Mobile Connect: biometric verification, and adding “something I am.” Supporting FIDO as part of the Mobile Connect service as specified by the GSMA enables a framework which is able to support different kinds of biometrical authenticators in a very flexible way.
“The smart integration of FIDO Certified selfie checks and a Mobile Connect identity seemed to us to be a logical step, as both FIDO and Mobile Connect address the same challenge: easier, safer online authentication,” explained Anne Bouverot, Chair and CEO of Morpho.
