> SMS OTP uses Gemaltos SA Server 01 to send an OTP to any mobile phone via the Short Message Service (SMS) format. SMS OTP combines two-factor authentication security with the convenience and simplicity of mobile SMS messages. It is easy to use, it offers a simple end-user experience and there is no software to install or maintain. The solution has no impact on the end-users handset. When logging on to a secure network through their workstation, laptop, netbook, tablet or smartphone, the end-user enters their enterprise credentials of username and password. This generates a request for an OTP, which is sent to their handset via SMS. Employers need to subscribe to a Mobile Messaging Operator (MMO) that offers an SMSC- or HTTP-compatible API SMS service. Configuring the SMS service with SA Server is very simple. > Mobile OTP uses an application 02 downloaded to the handset that allows users to securely generate an OTP using their mobile phone as a token. It is typical for a user to always have their mobile phone with them and with the increasing functionality of smart phones, using the handset as a productivity tool
