Tags for the session - technology discussed/ideas considered: SMS Authentication, QR code

Discussion notes, key understandings, outstanding questions, observations, and, if appropriate to this discussion: action items, next steps:

Introduced to the registration and login system of LINE(Japanese mobile messaging app)

• without password - registration using phone number and SMS authentication
• remote login by QR code scanning of mobile app
• not common authentication, but only in LINE

Discussed QR code authentication and the other authentication using mobile app.

• use QR code as ID (but who issue it?)
• a picture of license is easily faked, but QR code is comparatively secure.
• useful for low value services (e.g. messaging app)
• difficult to introduce it to high value services (e.g. payment)

How do we login to future device like Google glass or iWatch?

• wink
• QR code
