OTPValidation

Incubating API Repository to evolve and maintain the definitions and documentation of OTPValidation Service API within the Sub Project Number Insights

• API Repository wiki page

Scope

• Service APIs for “OTPValidation” (see APIBacklog.md)
  • The OTP SMS API facilitates real-time verification of a user's device by sending a unique code via SMS to the specified mobile phone number. The process involves three key steps:

1. Code Generation and Delivery:
   The send-code operation is used by the API consumer (e.g., an application) to request a one-time code to be sent by SMS to the application user's mobile phone along with an message to the user's mobile device.
2. User Input:
   The user receives the SMS and enters the received code into the application.
3. Verification:
   The application submits the entered code using the validate-code operation, which then verifies its accuracy and responds with a confirmation indicating whether the code is valid.

This process ensures secure, real-time validation of user possession of the specified device, enhancing authentication security.

• by delivering a one-time password (OTP) to it through SMS and validating the received code with the user's operator after the code is entered as requested.
