VIETNAMOBILE ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH IPIFICATION TO BRING MOBILE ID SERVICE TO VIETNAM - The high security and simplicity authentication solution available today for online transaction

First in Vietnam, Mobile ID is where Security meets Simplicity

Vietnamobile is pleased to announce today that they are introducing Mobile ID service into the country - The optimal authentication solution for all smartphone transactions, completely FREE for their subscribers. Instead of undergoing complicated and risky traditional authentication steps such as providing phone number and authenticating SMS OTP, customers only need to authorize Vietnamobile generate the Mobile ID.  Rest assured of all transactions on the phone. Vietnamobile will automatically authenticate the mobile phone and ensure its security soon.

Today’s Problem of online transaction authentication:

Security or Simplicity? Cannot have both?? One-time passwords get repeatedly intercepted and hardware tokens break the user flow

According to the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), SMS authentication is not secure enough. Hackers can hack to deliver SMS messages to non-official phone numbers. These tricks are so sophisticated that you won't even know your messages have been stolen. NIST also warns that phone numbers registered on Facebook Messenger and Viber-style applications are likely to be hacked and reveal the authentication code on SMS. The alternative solution is to use two-layer security or use a security code from a token device, but this method is quite complicated and causes interruptions in the transaction, so most users find it very annoying.

What is Mobile ID?

Mobile ID is a highly secure, credential-less, network-based authentication solution for frictionless user experience on mobile and IoT devices, with zero effort from end-users.

Mobile ID service uses technology from Ipification - the ultimate security solution patented by Most Innovative Mobile Authentication Solutions Company in the European Enterprise Awards 2021, and is expected to be the foundation for mobile authentication of now and future. Mobile ID enables compatible mobile user authentication by verifying device, SIM and phone number via IP address, the purpose of preventing fraud in registration and mobile transaction approval. Mobile ID service does not require additional installation, does not need to enter a password, and does not require any action from users.

Vietnamobile representatives said, “During the past three years, Vietnamobile subscribers online transaction volumes grew very rapidly.
