Malaysian telco YTL Communications said on Wednesday it is partnering with US-based identity and fraud prevention platform Shush to deploy network authentication APIs, starting with Number Verification and SIM Swap.

The CAMARA-standardised APIs enable businesses to verify user identities and prevent fraud through seamless, secure network checks, enabling enterprises to verify mobile numbers, detect SIM swap fraud, and authenticate users through secure, privacy-compliant network verification.

Shush says its Sherlock platfom enables telcos to expose secure APIs that deliver real-time signals for SIM swap detection, device validation, and other critical fraud indicators, while generating new revenue streams.

"Our partnership with Shush ensures that we can quickly and securely deploy the Network Authentication APIs, providing a trusted foundation for digital identity services that benefit the entire ecosystem, helping stamp out fraud and protect our customers,” said YTL CEO Wing K. Lee in a statement.

YTL said its collaboration with Shush aligns with an MoU signed by CelcomDigi, Maxis, U Mobile, Telekom Malaysia and YTL [in September last year](https://developingtelecoms.com/telecom-technology/enterprise-ecosystems/19114-malaysian-telcos-to-federate-open-api-for-number-verification.html) to launch a federated network service under the GSMA Open Gateway initiative with standardized APIs to protect online businesses and consumers from fraud and digital identity theft.

Shush co-founder and CEO Eddie DeCurtis added that CAMARA’s Silent Authentication API will be included in the next phase of the rollout.

“Starting with CAMARA Number Verification, we’re enabling secure, programmable network capabilities that enterprises can integrate quickly and confidently,” said DeCurtis. “As additional APIs come online, YTL will be well-positioned to expand monetization opportunities and support Malaysia’s broader digital transformation.”
