INTRODUCING CRYPTO-BASED MOBILE AUTHENTICATION WITH MYID
MyID’s new mobile authentication feature turns your workforce’s mobile devices into crypto-protected keys, enabling passwordless multi-factor authentication for end users into cloud resources, corporate systems and networks through touch ID, facial biometric or a PIN.
Unlike One Time Passwords (OTPs), mobile authentication with MyID uses PKI technology to issue a digital identity to each end users’ device, meaning organisations can have complete confidence in the digital identities they trust, combining greater security with a better user experience.
Simple to deploy, MyID plugs into existing environments, and provides all of the management necessary for IT teams to control access policies, issue, and manage the lifecycle of end user digital identities at scale.
Available as part of MyID Enterprise and MyID PIV.
USE STRONG MOBILE AUTHENTICATION TO
- Reduce hardware requirement by enabling end users’ mobile devices for strong authentication
- Provide best practice strong multi-factor authentication to safeguard against the growing threat of breach from weaker forms of authentication such as passwords and OTPs
- Deliver strong authentication with an excellent user experience using in-built device touch ID, PIN or FaceID technology
- Remove deployment headaches as MyID Enterprise and MyID PIV both plug into existing infrastructure
- Maintain total control over the digital identities issued, policies set in place and lifecycle management of digital identities
- Providing a robust, scalable strong mobile authentication solution for end users ranging from the low thousands into millions

HOW DOES IT WORK?
MyID’s new mobile authentication feature allows a smartphone or tablet device to be used for securely authenticating a user to cloud and network-based systems and resources.
The smartphone is issued with a PKI-based digital identity which is protected by a PIN, Touch ID or FaceID. Unlike other 2FA solutions, MyID uses a PKI based digital identity to bind a user to a private key.
The private key never leaves the mobile device and this is associated with an encrypted certificate which ties the key to a specific user. This allows a digitally signed authentication attempt to be validated with the certificate, giving the organisation confidence that users accessing secure systems really are who they claim to be.
