Despite its necessity, mobile phones remain to be the easiest and deadliest way for terrorists to detonate explosives remotely. To curb this deadly use of mobile telephony, a number of countries in Africa, the Middle East and South Asia have started requiring their citizens to register their KYC details like valid ID, photo and biometric data before activation of mobile phone SIM cards.

The challenge is to create a SIM card registration and authentication system that is fast, secure, and seamless. The system should provide for a smooth and painless experience for legitimate customers while creating a strong deterrent to anyone engaging in crime or terrorism activities.
