It works similarly to Google’s two-step verification process, only this time users would only have to use the device instead of typing a system-generated keycode that was sent to their phone. The authentication method verifies a user’s identity through the telecom network itself, reducing dependence on traditional SMS-based verification that has become vulnerable to SIM-swap attacks and message interception. According to DITO Chief Commercial Officer Adel Tamano, the technology strengthens mobile transaction security by shifting verification away from older authentication methods. Silent Network Authentication allows digital services such as banking apps, fintech platforms, and online services to confirm a user’s identity through network-level verification instead of sending OTP codes. Without verification, accounts would remain limited to 5GB.
