https://lnkd.in/djUnv6Qu Digital economy rests on digital trust. RBI comes up with a draft framework on alternate authentication measures for digital transactions. It is a much needed , righty timed , forward looking and risk focussed policy intervention. Recently Monetary Authority of Singapore also came up with a similar directive. The key highlights and points to ponder are: 1. The gap between digital product outreach and customer digital awareness has created globally lucrative avenues of cyber crimes. Allmost all (excluding the remote sharing apps) cyber thefts leverage the OTP sharing by customers. 2. The telecom ecosystem is trying very hard through multiple measures to arrest the perpetuation of frauds through SMS. Sanchar Saarthi , Standardisation of SMS templates , registration of bulk sms senders etc. are wonderful steps but falling short of preventing frauds. 3. What needs to be seen is what risks alternate authentication channels will bring about. We recently heard about AEPS frauds using biometrics and concerns around live tissue scanning. 4. Token providing applications , if sitting on customer devices are also susceptible to similar risks as the OTP, until stringent containers are created. Getting the security implemented might be a challenge based on the deep penetration of digital products and variety of devices in use by our customers. 5. With systemic and transactional cyber threats looming large , such policy interventions help us to leverage mutiple technologies for enabling safety and security of our stakeholders. 5. As mentioned by RBI , Risk based authentication framework are the key for leveraging this direction in true spirit.

As Two-Factor Authentication (TFA) became a regulatory requirement in India, it rapidly became synonymous with One-Time Passwords (OTPs). Initially perceived as a potential impediment to the digital transition, particularly in the realm of ecommerce where digital payments were anticipated to surge, OTPs surprisingly emerged as a welcomed safeguard and a symbol of security for Indian consumers. Fast forward to the present, OTP serve as the cornerstone of authentication mechanisms across diverse sectors, reshaping how businesses and individuals engage with numerous applications and services. However, the evolution of authentication technology is inevitable, driven by the imperative to safeguard against cyber threats originating from various corners of the globe. As we look ahead, the landscape of authentication is poised for transformation, with emerging technologies such as biometric authentication, dynamic security measures, and multifaceted verification methods set to redefine how we verify identity and ensure security in an increasingly digital world. It's time to embrace the forthcoming innovations and bid farewell to the era dominated solely by OTPs.

https://lnkd.in/dcncRMhd This is a very interesting initiative, it would be beneficial in alot of ways ways such as enhanced transaction monitoring, consistency for KYC programs throughout the banks to potentially avoid fraudster/bad actors, a wider review of transactions input through the FI system. It would be more a community effort, if handled properly. Consequently it means that data privacy initiatives and cybersecurity measures need to be enhanced at every level of the organization. It might work better if this was an independent system locally accessed by every bank. Thoughts? Inspired by Matt McGuire FCPA, FCA, CFF, CAMS, AMLP, CCI
