Enole.net – Building Up Mobile Identities
Enole is a new platform that addresses the inherent limitations that user authentication has got. These become evident when we realize how deep the Social Web is, and the many devices we can actually use for logging in which are currently available.
In particular, Enole focuses on mobile phones and places the concept of “mobile identity” at the forefront of its whole approach for authenticating who you are.
To put it in simple words, what Enole does is to tie a person to a mobile device, and use that mobile device as a representation of the individual from that point onwards.
In order to ensure that the consumer is actually protected, Enole stores as little as possible about his identity. But you already knew as much – remembers, the individual is tokenized by his mobile device. No names are used, no bank accounts are disclosed, no social security number is taken into consideration. This approach makes sense, if you think about it – the fewer information that Enole keeps about its users, then the fewer reasons users will have to worry about their privacy.
Enole’s API is available on the site, and you can download it right away. This API is actually a RESTful API, and that is good news indeed – integration is made exponentially easier.
