RCS (Rich Communication Services) is the next evolution of SMS, bringing advanced messaging features previously exclusive to OTT platforms. It enhances user experience with richer media, stronger security, and improved interactivity.

Key Features:

• Security: End-to-end encryption across Apple and Android devices.
• Rich Media Support: High-definition images, videos, and embedded cards.
• Enhanced User Experience: Suggested action buttons, quick replies, and branded interfaces.
• Verified and Secure Channels: Sender authentication reduces spam and fosters trust.
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Enables seamless messaging between Android and iOS devices.

Motive simplifies the rollout of RCS to iPhone subscribers with a GSMA-compliant Entitlement Server that streamlines provisioning, authentication, and security at scale.

SIM-based Silent Authentication is a secure, frictionless method of verifying a user's identity without requiring passwords, one-time passcodes (OTPs), or manual input. It leverages the SIM card as a trusted identifier, allowing authentication to happen in the background without disrupting the user experience.

Key Benefits:

• Transparent & Effortless: Authentication occurs silently in the background, requiring no user input.
• Enhanced User Experience: Provides smooth, uninterrupted access to services.
• Secure & Reliable: Uses EAP-AKA authentication via Motive’s Entitlement Server to ensure a high level of security.
• Stronger Than OTPs: Eliminates reliance on costly, spoof-prone SMS-based OTP authentication, reducing the risk of phishing and fraud.

Motive’s Entitlement Server seamlessly integrates SIM-based Silent Authentication to enable secure, scalable, and user-friendly identity verification across networks.

How Motive Helps?

Motive is compatible with the GSMA Open Gateway APIs. Motive Entitlement Server communicates with the end user’s mobile application to seamlessly verify and authenticate users.

SIM-based authentication provides a more secure, seamless, and cost-effective alternative to traditional OTP (One-Time Password) authentication methods. Unlike OTPs, which rely on SMS messages that can be intercepted or delayed, SIM-based authentication verifies users directly through the mobile network, eliminating the risk of phishing, spoofing, and SIM-swapping attacks.

One of the biggest advantages is the frictionless user experience—authentication happens silently in the background without requiring users to enter a code. This not only improves convenience but also reduces login failures due to mistyped or expired OTPs.

From a security standpoint, SIM-based authentication is far more reliable. Since it uses the SIM card as a unique hardware identifier, it prevents unauthorized access attempts and eliminates the risk of OTP-based fraud, such as SMS hijacking or social engineering attacks.

Additionally, SIM-based authentication is more cost-efficient for businesses, as it removes the need for sending OTPs via SMS, which can become expensive at scale. It also offers greater reliability, as authentication occurs directly over secure mobile networks without being affected by SMS delivery failures.

Motive’s Entitlement Server enhances security and scalability by using SIM-based authentication to verify users seamlessly, ensuring a secure and efficient authentication process for millions of devices.

Yes, Motive’s Entitlement Server supports both Apple and Android devices. It is designed in compliance with GSMA standards, ensuring seamless provisioning and authentication across different operating systems.

For Apple devices, the Entitlement Server aligns with Apple’s ACME (Automatic Configuration and Management Engine) specifications, enabling secure authentication and provisioning for RCS and other mobile services.

For Android devices, it follows GSMA TS.43 guidelines, ensuring compatibility with Android’s RCS infrastructure and secure network authentication.

By supporting both platforms, Motive enables cross-platform RCS messaging, secure authentication, and seamless user experiences without requiring manual intervention from end users.

Motive’s Entitlement Server is built with multiple layers of security to ensure secure provisioning, authentication, and communication across mobile networks.

Key Security Features:

• SIM-Based Authentication: Uses secure SIM credentials to verify and authenticate devices, preventing unauthorized access.
• EAP-AKA Authentication: Provides a robust and encrypted authentication process, eliminating the risks associated with spoofing and man-in-the-middle attacks.
• End-to-End Encryption: Ensures that authentication data and user credentials are securely transmitted over the network.
• Access Control & Verification: Only authorized devices and users can register and provision RCS functionality.
• GSMA-Compliant Security Standards: Aligns with GSMA TS.43 and Apple’s ACME standards to ensure compliance and interoperability.
• Fraud & Spoofing Prevention: Prevents unauthorized devices from being provisioned and protects against SIM-swapping attacks.
• Scalable Security Measures: Designed to handle authentication for millions of devices while maintaining strict security protocols.

By integrating these security measures, Motive’s Entitlement Server ensures a seamless, secure, and scalable provisioning process for RCS and other mobile network services.

The rollout timeline for RCS with Motive’s Entitlement Server depends on several factors, including the mobile operator’s network infrastructure, device compatibility, and integration requirements. However, Motive’s solution is designed to streamline the process and accelerate deployment.

For operators with existing GSMA-compliant infrastructure, integration can be completed in a matter of weeks, leveraging Motive’s scalable provisioning system. For networks requiring additional customization or testing, the timeline may extend to a few months, ensuring compliance with Apple’s ACME and Android’s TS.43 standards.

Motive simplifies the rollout with automated provisioning, SIM-based authentication, and large-scale device management, allowing operators to efficiently enable RCS for millions of subscribers while ensuring a seamless transition.
