How Selivery Uses TOTP to Secure Messages



In today’s digital world, where security concerns are paramount, especially in industries with sensitive data, Selivery has taken extra steps to secure messaging with TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password). TOTP adds an essential layer of security, ensuring that each notification remains unique, time-sensitive, and protected against unauthorized access. Here, we’ll explore how TOTP works, why it’s an ideal solution for Selivery, and the benefits it brings to our users.

What is TOTP and How Does It Work?

TOTP is an algorithm that generates a unique, temporary code used for authentication. Unlike static passwords or PINs, TOTP codes expire within a short time (usually between 30 to 60 seconds), limiting the opportunity for unauthorized use. Here’s how the TOTP process works:

  1. Generation of a Unique Code: TOTP codes are created based on the current time and a unique secret key shared between the server (Selivery) and the user’s device.
  2. Expiration of Codes: The generated code is only valid for a brief period, ensuring that even if an attacker intercepts it, the window for misuse is minimal.
  3. Real-Time Authentication: When a user receives a notification from Selivery, they’ll need to enter the TOTP code for certain actions, verifying that they are authorized to perform the operation.

With this approach, Selivery enhances the traditional security model of Messaging, aligning our platform with the latest standards in secure authentication.

Why Selivery Uses TOTP for Selivery Messaging

Our commitment to security in every notification makes TOTP the natural choice for Selivery. Here’s why we chose TOTP:

  • Enhanced Security: Each message is safeguarded by a code unique to the moment it’s generated, blocking unauthorized access.
  • Protection of Critical Actions: For sensitive applications, like finance or healthcare notifications, TOTP adds an extra layer of security, giving users peace of mind.
  • Reduced Risk of Unauthorized Access: Since codes auto-expire, even intercepted codes become useless quickly, significantly reducing risk.
  • Ideal for Sensitive Applications: TOTP is particularly beneficial for applications requiring additional protection, such as financial, healthcare, and other industries where secure data handling is crucial.
