Integration of orchestration with OneSpan Mobile Security Suite

The Orchestration SDK enables you to easily leverage major security features in your mobile application:

Data exchange happens between the mobile application that integrates the Orchestration SDK and the application server that uses OneSpan Cloud Authentication. The exchanged data is encapsulated into orchestration commands which are encoded as hexadecimal strings. These orchestration commands are protected by the Secure Channel feature to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and non-repudiation of the exchanged data.

Before You Begin

The Orchestration SDK does not handle the communication layers (e.g. network, Push NotificationClosed Message that is pushed from a server to a user and is displayed on an end-user device, e.g. a mobile device. Push notifications are received by a particular app. This must be registered on the corresponding server to receive notifications. Notifications can be sent at any time, the users do not have to be actively using the app at that time. messages, or image scanning). This part must be handled by the mobile application that integrates the Orchestration SDK.

The Orchestration SDK supports the following platforms:

  • Android 5.0 and later
  • iOS 12.0 and later

The Android and iOS binaries are part of the Mobile Security Suite SDKs bundle that can be retrieved from the Mobile Security Suite SDKs Download page.

Authenticator configuration

To successfully set up orchestration, the following authenticator configuration settings are mandatory:

  • The authenticator must have a Secure Channel application for activation, remote authentication, and remote transaction operations.
  • PIN protection must be set to optional, and the minimum PIN length must be 6 characters when a keypad is used that is provided by OneSpan.

The following authenticator configuration settings are optional:

  • A Response-Only application for local authentication and PIN change.
  • A Challenge/Response application for local authentication.
  • A Signature application for local transactions.
