The Future of Caller Authentication: GSMA and Telefónica Reveal the Trusted Caller Identity Pilot
To explore what a better model could look like, Dock Labs hosted a live webinar on the future of caller authentication, presenting a joint proof of concept developed with GSMA Telefónica Tech and TMT ID. The session demonstrated how callers can authenticate themselves in seconds using a secure digital identity wallet, without sharing sensitive personal data and without relying on knowledge-based authentication or one-time passwords.The discussion examined the growing fraud landscape, the role of mobile operators as a new root of trust through SIM-based identity, and how decentralized identity and verifiable credentials can transform call center security while improving customer experience and privacy.
The session featured Glyn Povah, Global Head of Product Development at Telefónica Tech, and Helene Vigue, Identity and Data Director at GSMA, who shared insights from the pilot and outlined how the mobile industry is working together to restore trust in voice communications.
