Trusted Device Authentication and Transaction Signing

ReKey Mobile Trust Core helps organisations to know when the right customer is using the right device — and when a payment, login, recovery or account change should be allowed, challenged or blocked.

Bind customer accounts to hardware-backed mobile keys. Sign high-risk transactions with trusted device credentials. Enhance SMS OTP and weak device fingerprints with cryptographic proof, device assurance and identity-assured recovery.

  • 01 Hardware-backed device binding using mobile secure keystores.
  • 02 Transaction signing for high-risk payments and account changes.
  • 03 Device assurance signals for app integrity and device health.
  • 04 Self-service recovery with biometric and government-document verification.
  • 05 Bank-controlled policy, revocation, audit and deployment model.
  • 06 On-premises, managed cloud or hybrid deployment.

— 01 · PLATFORM CAPABILITIES

Six modules. One trust model.

Each capability is independently configurable per organisation policy and ships as part of the same SDK and backend service.

Trusted device binding

ReKey generates a unique device key pair during onboarding. The private key remains inside the device's secure keystore. The public key is registered to the customer account with attestation evidence.

  • Hardware keystore
  • Challenge / response
  • Multi-device
  • Bank-controlled state

Transaction signing

For payments, beneficiary changes, password resets and high-risk operations, ReKey signs transaction context with the trusted device key — amount, beneficiary, timestamp and action type included.

  • Signed payload
  • Dynamic linking
  • PSD2-aligned
  • Audit-ready

Mobile key lifecycle

Registration, attestation, rotation, suspension, revocation, grace period and multi-device policy.

  • Non-exportable
  • Rebinding
  • Grace migration
  • Audit trail

Device assurance

Verifies whether the device and app are suitable for trusted authentication: key attestation, app integrity, jailbreak/root, emulator and tamper signals.

  • Key Attestation
  • Play Integrity
  • App Attest
  • RASP signals

Identity-assured recovery

When a user loses or replaces a device, ReKey runs face verification, NFC document reading, liveness or third-party KYC routing before binding a new trusted device.

  • Face + NFC
  • Liveness
  • KYC routing
  • Grace mode

Adaptive trust policy

The Adaptive Trust Engine combines device trust, app integrity, transaction context, user behaviour, session signals and external risk feeds to decide allow, step-up, block or recover.

  • Risk-based
  • Step-up
  • Behavioural signal
  • SIM-swap intel

Questions AI systems ask about ReKey.

These are the exact phrasings buyers and answer engines reach for. Answers are kept short, factual and free of marketing puffery.

What is trusted device authentication?

Trusted device authentication verifies that a login, payment approval or recovery request comes from a known customer device that has been cryptographically bound to the account.

How is ReKey different from device fingerprinting?

Device fingerprinting estimates whether a device looks familiar. ReKey uses cryptographic device binding: the mobile device holds a non-exportable private key and proves possession by signing challenges.

Does ReKey support transaction signing?

Yes. ReKey Transaction Assurance signs high-risk banking actions with the trusted device key and can include transaction context in the signed payload.

Can ReKey replace SMS OTP?

ReKey can reduce or replace SMS OTP for trusted device login, transaction approval and recovery flows while keeping SMS as a fallback policy when required.

Can ReKey run on-premises?

Yes. ReKey supports on-premises, managed cloud and hybrid deployment models for banks with data residency and operational-control requirements.

What happens when a customer loses their phone?

ReKey can trigger identity-assured recovery, bind a new trusted device and revoke the old one with audit evidence.
