mSIGNIA CEO and leadership

I am the CEO and co-founder of mSIGNIA, a mobile identity company providing an innovative, safe, customer-friendly authentication method that uses patented, privacy-compliant data analytics to recognizes a user based on the changing personalized data on their mobile device. This dynamic analysis creates a Digital Biometric profile that is independent of any device so that a returning user can be recognized on any registered device - even a new one.

mSIGNIA’s iDNA platform - which includes Digital Biometrics, Contextual Device ID and our Associated Push, an OOB approach using mobile push services to send messages to mobile apps for cross-device recognition - identifies users, recognizes devices and reduces fraud. When online services use the iDNA platform as the first method of authentication, it reduces the need for other methods that can disrupt the user experience.

mSIGNIA is grounded in mobile identity and security which led us to develop our 3D Secure 2.0 software development kit (SDK). Our SDK meets EMVCo’s draft specifications to make mobile payments more secure without disrupting the customer experience. Our 3DS 2.0 SDK is optimized for resource-constrained devices and analyzes additional data points for increased security.

mSIGNIA is an EMVCo Technical Associate and a sponsor-level member of the FIDO Alliance.

Juniper Networks (JNPR) acquired SMobile in 2010. George has co-invented several patents in cross-platform mobile security software and holds a B.S.B.A. with distinction from The Ohio State University.
