Synacor Expands Identity Platform Capabilities to Support Single Sign On (SSO) on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple TV
June 13 2016 - 4:01PM
Synacor, Inc. (Nasdaq:SYNC), the trusted
multiscreen technology and monetization company for video, internet
and communications providers, device manufacturers and enterprises,
today announced the release of a comprehensive identity and access
management platform to support Apple Single Sign On.
“Synacor is excited to help deliver an optimal SSO experience
for iOS and Apple TV users, based on the secure and proven
authentication practices established by Synacor over the
years,” said Himesh Bhise, CEO of Synacor.
“Synacor offers an identity platform that helps simplify the login
experience for Apple customers to access their authenticated video
services.”
Historically, the end user experience on mobile devices required
subscribers to re-enter their password inside of every video
application; on connected TVs specifically, subscribers were
prompted to enter a second-screen login on a computer or mobile
device before they could watch TV content on the large screen.
The full functionality of Apple Single Sign On was announced
today at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in San
Francisco.
For Pay TV Providers, Synacor Cloud ID with Apple
Single Sign On includes
- Single Sign On across TVE/OTT apps for pay TV subscribers on
Apple’s iOS devices and Apple TV
- Password-less Auto Authentication out-of-home across many Apple
devices
- Provider App Store featuring available authenticated apps
Synacor is an industry leader in cloud-based identity &
access management, with a rich history of innovation in home-based
auto-authentication, social login, and fraud prevention.
Synacor also works with industry associations, such as the
Open Authentication Technology Committee (OATC), to simplify online
access to pay TV.
Per TechTarget, “Single sign-on (SSO) is a session/user
authentication process that permits a user to enter one name and
password in order to access multiple applications. The process
authenticates the user for all the applications they have been
given rights to and eliminates further prompts when they switch
applications during a particular session.”
