DITO Telecommunity has launched Silent Network Authentication, a technology that allows digital platforms to verify users directly through the mobile network without relying on SMS one-time passwords (OTPs). According to DITO Chief Commercial Officer Adel Tamano, the technology strengthens mobile transaction security by shifting verification away from older authentication methods. The deployment was highlighted during a session at Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona focused on network APIs and telecom-based authentication systems. DITO said the technology could help address increasing fraud cases involving SMS-based authentication, particularly in mobile banking and digital payments. The company added that financial institutions and digital platforms are already exploring the system as part of broader efforts to strengthen mobile transaction security.
