The Jellyfish Mobile's SIM3 Self Sovereign ID (SSI) solution presents an innovative approach to address the challenges associated with traditional Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) systems. Let's explore how SIM3's SSI solution addresses these challenges: 𝑰𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑷𝒉𝒚𝒔𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝑫𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒔: Unlike traditional MFA/2FA, where authentication is tied to a specific device or app, SIM3's SSI solution leverages a wallet address for identity verification. This approach reduces the risk of being locked out of an account due to the loss or inaccessibility of a physical device. 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒐𝒍𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉-𝟐𝟐 𝑺𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: In traditional MFA/2FA systems, losing access to an authentication factor can create a deadlock where you need the device to access the account and vice versa. SIM3's SSI circumvents this by using a wallet address that can be accessed with the private key, independent of specific devices or apps. 𝑬𝒏𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒅 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑼𝒔𝒆𝒓 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒍: The wallet address-based identity system enhances security by decentralizing identity management. Users have more control over their digital identity, as the access is governed by their private key, which can be securely stored and managed. 𝑺𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒔: Recovery from loss or theft of a device is more straightforward with SIM3's SSI. Since the identity is tied to a wallet address and not to the physical SIM or device, users can regain access to their accounts more easily as long as they have their private keys. 𝑭𝒍𝒆𝒙𝒊𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑨𝒅𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚: The SSI solution offers greater flexibility compared to traditional MFA/2FA methods. Users can switch devices or SIM cards without affecting their ability to authenticate, as the authentication relies on the wallet address and private key.
