The science behind
Silent Authentication

Silent authentication verifies users instantly by using a secret key stored on the SIM card and matched with the mobile network, allowing seamless and secure verification without user interaction.

Authentication Requested

Honey Badger prompts the mobile network to send a random number to the user’s SIM.

Token
Generation


Both the user’s device and the mobile network use a cryptographic hash to generate a token.

Token Comparison

Honey Badger coordinates with the user’s device and the mobile network to compare the tokens.

Authentication Result

If the tokens match then the user is in possession of their two factor device and is authenticated.

Real-Time Identity Checks Using Open Source Intelligence

Honey Badger gathers thousands of data points linked to emails and phone numbers.

It analyses these signals to find associated information and build a comprehensive verification score.

Data is cross-correlated to ensure everything aligns and delivers a reliable identity check.

Upgraded SMS OTP

Honey Badger’s SMS OTP solution offers end-to-end proof of possession with global coverage, enabling you to verify users quickly and securely. Unlike other providers, Honey Badger’s solution is built with risk and fraud checks by design—checking for recent SIM swaps, flagging devices overseas, and screening numbers against high-risk databases. All this is powered through a single API, giving you peace of mind and seamless integration into your existing workflows.

Gain an unfair advantage with
Silent Authentication

Honey Badger’s Silent Authentication solution uses SIM-based cryptography to verify users seamlessly, leveraging the same secure technology that 4G and 5G networks use to authenticate calls and data sessions. This method is inherently more secure than traditional SMS OTP, as it’s built on telecom-grade infrastructure trusted worldwide.

Honey Badger offers native APIs that make it easy to integrate Silent Authentication into your mobile apps, enabling instant, frictionless verification in just a few seconds. This rapid process not only enhances security but also dramatically reduces customer dropout rates—keeping your users engaged and your risk profile lower.

Frictionless identity verification 

Honey Badger’s frictionless identity verification combines the power of official sources—like mobile KYC and credit header data—with open source intelligence to create a holistic view of a person’s identity. By pulling data from multiple sources, Honey Badger can confirm or contradict a user’s claims, helping you spot inconsistencies quickly.

This approach is fast, cost-effective, and extremely hard to bypass, making it ideal for high-volume onboarding without adding unnecessary friction. With Honey Badger, you get the assurance you need without compromising user experience.
