GSMA Open Gateway

In an exciting development, IDlayr has become a certified GSMA Open Gateway Channel Partner. This partnership marks a significant milestone for global mobile identity verification, providing businesses with advanced tools to enhance security, reduce fraud, and improve user experience in sync with the GSMA’s global Open Gateway framework. 

 

What is Open Gateway?

The GSMA Open Gateway is a groundbreaking initiative designed to create a universal framework for network Application Programmable Interfaces (APIs). This initiative, championed by the GSMA, aims to drive innovation, enhance global interoperability, and unlock a market estimated to be worth $300 billion. By providing common network APIs, Open Gateway enables developers to access operator networks worldwide, fostering a new era of connectivity and service integration.

 

 

What are CAMARA APIs?

CAMARA APIs are a suite of standardised network APIs developed under the GSMA Open Gateway framework. These APIs are designed to facilitate various network capabilities and services, including identity verification, fraud prevention, and secure transactions. Key CAMARA APIs include Number Verification and SIM Swap, which are critical for ensuring secure and reliable mobile identity verification and preventing fraudulent activities. These APIs are integral to creating a seamless and secure user experience in mobile applications and services are already available through IDlayr products.

 

What are the benefits of Open Gateway?

The Open Gateway initiative offers numerous benefits for businesses, developers, and mobile network operators (MNOs). By standardising APIs, it simplifies the integration process, reducing the complexity and cost associated with developing and deploying new services. This standardisation fosters innovation by enabling developers to leverage network capabilities without dealing with the intricacies of individual operator networks.

 

For businesses, this can mean faster time-to-market for new services, enhanced security through reliable identity verification, and reduced operational costs. Moreover, the interoperability of Open Gateway APIs ensures that services can be deployed globally, reaching a wider audience and maximising revenue potential.

 

How can I benefit from Open Gateway?

All businesses can benefit from the GSMA Open Gateway framework by integrating CAMARA APIs into their existing platforms and services. 

 

If you’re an enterprise, this means enhancing security measures, streamlining operations, and providing a superior user experience. For MNOs, it means commercialising your data through new services and revenue streams.

 

In enterprises the integration can enhance security, streamline operations, and provide a better user experience. For instance, using the Number Verification API can ensure that the phone numbers provided by users during account registration are valid, reducing the risk of fraud. Additionally, leveraging the SIM Swap API can help businesses detect and prevent SIM swap fraud, which is a common method used by fraudsters to take over user accounts. By incorporating these APIs, you can protect your users and enhance the trustworthiness of your services.

 

Why is IDlayr a Good Partner for Open Gateway?

IDlayr has been actively helping both enterprises and MNOs to monetise APIs since 2020 so we have the understanding, expertise and connections already. As a certified GSMA Open Gateway Channel Partner, we can provide you with access to a robust suite of CAMARA APIs.

 

We help verify the identity of mobile users to prevent account take-overs and fraud using solutions that already utilise a number of the GSMA’s CAMARA APIs – including Number Verification and SIM Swap – in use cases such as account registration and log-in, and for high-value financial transactions through mobile devices.   

 

Our expertise and innovation in mobile identity verification make us an ideal partner for you to exploit the GSMA Open Gateway initiative:

 

    • Mobile Trust Network

Our Mobile Trust Network connects businesses with over XX mobile network operators (MNOs) and technology partners globally. This network allows us to provide a central gateway for businesses to access and leverage the capabilities of the GSMA Open Gateway APIs. Through our mobile identity platform, our extensive network ensures fast, seamless integration and access to the capabilities of the GSMA Open Gateway APIs for each of your markets.

 

    • State-of-the-art Platform

Our intelligent mobile identity platform integrates with your business to bring the power of Open Gateway to your business. This means simplifying mobile identity verification while enhancing security; by utilising possession-based mobile identity and binding devices to user accounts, we can prevent phishing, SIM-swap, and emulator attacks.

 

    • Cost and Performance Efficiency

Our high-performance solutions are easy to deploy, with lower operational costs and a significant uplift in performance. Our no-code integration and predictable pricing model further simplify adoption.

 

Let’s connect!
