PKI-BASED MOBILE AUTHENTICATION AND TRANSACTION SIGNING

Perform strong PKI-based mobile MFA to enterprise systems and resources. Authorise transactions using a mobile app.

Organisations need to know that high value business operations, such as authorising a purchase or approving access for a new security administrator, are performed by suitably authorised individuals.

Many organisations have chosen to use smart cards with PKI certificates to authorise high value transactions, as this combines strong authentication of the individual with a digitally signed audit record of the event itself. However, the same approach does not work well with the mobile smartphones and tablets that are now widely used as a convenient business device.

MyID CMS mobile transaction signing solves this problem by providing app based high security transaction approval from a user’s mobile device.

HOW IT WORKS

Issuance

The Mobile app is downloaded from an app store or pushed out via MDM
MyID is used to issue a digital identity in the form of a private key and certificate to the mobile app

Authorization

The system requiring approval passes the data it requires authorizing into MyID via the REST APIs
MyID sends a push notification to the user’s mobile device informing them they have a transaction to authorize
The user taps the notification opening the MyID Mobile app which displays the data to be authorized
The user either enters a PIN, places their finger on the phone fingerprint reader or uses Face ID to approve the transaction
The app accesses the private key on the device to digitally sign the authorisation request
The response is passed to the MyID server where the digital signature is verified against the user’s certificate
The approved data and signed record are passed back to the system requiring approval
