Silent Authentication redefines Mobile Security

When traditional user verification (old way) is not enough, enterprise companies turn to Silent Authentication (new way) for device verification. This extra layer of security to reduces the risk of mobile fraud during critical transactions.

What are the most used
Network Authentication APIs?

  • Number Lookup
    Seamlessly onboard legitimate customers and eradicate fake accounts by instantly verifying a user's phone number in the background.  Shush checks the exact phone number associated with the active, physically inserted SIM card directly against the current mobile network operator's database to confirm ownership without sending an SMS OTP.
  • Silent Auth

    Eliminate user friction and cart abandonment by completely replacing vulnerable SMS OTPs with instant, invisible background validation. Shush cross-references the active device's real-time IP address with its unique mobile identifier at the network level, securely authenticating users without a single click.

  • SIM Swap Status

    Stop account takeover fraud at the front door by detecting illicit SIM card changes before a high-risk transaction can occur. Shush queries real-time carrier records to determine the exact activation timestamp of the SIM card in the user's device, providing companies with an immediate risk signal if a swap recently occurred. 

  • Device Status

    Enhance transaction security and mitigate connectivity risks by monitoring live network connection and roaming state changes in real time. Shush checks whether a device has abruptly lost its connection, switched operators, or rejoined a network, providing a vital telemetry signal for detecting sophisticated hijacking and interception techniques. 

Secure Seamless Experience

Secure & Seamless User Experience

What if banks and other companies could reduce mobile fraud by confirming that a login attempt is being made by the owner of the device?
 
Today many mobile authentication experiences require SMS or  email one-time passwords (OTPs). These  are not  “customer-first” experiences. Additionally, SMS was not architected  as a authentication method, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) states that “due to the risk that SMS may be intercepted or redirected,” businesses should consider alternative authentication methods.

Simply put, authentication using SMS creates friction and gives a false sense of security. Email and authenticator apps require switching apps and add to the complexity of a simple transaction.

By adding Network Authentication a brand's mobile experience is leveled up without sacrificing user experience.  

Silent is Simple

Shush is partnering with mobile network operators around the globe to offer brands and users a better way to authenticate.  The Shush solution uses mobile network-based technology to offer strong authentication. 

When you turn on your phone, it automatically connects to your mobile network operator and authenticates your device and SIM card. As a user, you didn’t have to do anything. Shush Sherlock uses this same SIM-based authentication to confirm mobile phone number possession. 

Shush Network Authentication leverages SIM data and authoritative signals across our global carrier network to instantly verify user authenticity. The SIM swap detection APIs help block SIM swap attacks without any action needed by authorized users, ensuring a secure, passwordless sign-in experience.
