There is no limit to human laziness. Take mobile phone verification for example, now the experience process has been quite simple, do not remember the static password is ok, only through mobile phone SMS verification can solve most of the registration, login, order problems. But the owner of the machine every time to see the SMS push verification code, “six numbers floating in the sky”, the in the mind will inexplicable tension, for fear of not being able to write down the six numbers before the SMS disappeared. Some apps have to go through the process all over again in case they fail to remember or make a mistake.

Fortunately, laziness encourages human progress. Now, a mobile phone authentication method has been put into use. This is the authentication form of “number authentication”.

The user experience is really 666. Users simply click on the phone’s prompt to request verification, wait a second or two, and the verification is passed. Although the experience process is minimal, the security behind it has been upgraded. The principle of this new authentication mode is “gateway authentication” : after the user sends an authentication request through the mobile phone, the gateway receives the request, encrypts and transmits the information of the mobile phone number and its gateway device to the account platform for decryption. Then the user side authentication passes.

Ali Communication’s technology is universal in three networks (Mobile telecom Unicom). For our general consumers, the experience of verification is good, really no perception; For each APP and business, it can greatly reduce the loss caused by the need to input verification code when registering, logging in, placing an order and paying.

In addition to convenience, the technology addresses a major security concern. You may have heard of the crime of hijacking a mobile phone’s SMS verification code to steal bank cards. This new type of crime uses a technology called “SMS sniffing” to steal the verification code by stealing text messages from users within a base station. Since the number authentication technology does not send SMS captcha in clear text, the new crime of hijacking captcha has no use.

Now ali Communication’s number authentication service has been sold online (link), as major Internet platforms upgrade to this perception-free authentication technology, SMS verification code may soon become a thing of the past.

If I have any complaints about this technology, it’s this: SMS captcha is the last thing that stops me from chopping my hands off. “Is it really ok to buy such an expensive thing?” “The bag of this color seems not to be the most suitable for me?” “Should I wait for the promotion to buy it?” — without the last “hesitation opportunity”, I can expect that my Alipay balance will be less and less, and my Taobao shopping cart will be more and more full. Is this papa Ma’s big game of chess?

Ali Telecom launched this technology before Singles’ Day, which is clearly calling me to eat dirt! Ali cloud website number certification product details page address: www.aliyun.com/product/dyp…
