Innovative API Concepts
Based on our analysis of telecom network capabilities and the challenges posed by AI-generated content, we have identified ten innovative API concepts that leverage telecom networks' unique position to address these challenges. These APIs are designed to create barriers that are extremely difficult for AI systems to overcome, helping to maintain trust in digital interactions in an increasingly AI-dominated future.
Each API concept leverages one or more unique aspects of telecom network data and capabilities, creating verification mechanisms that are anchored in physical reality, verified identity, or complex behavioral patterns that AI systems struggle to simulate convincingly.
Identity Verification APIs
Network-Verified Identity API
Very High PriorityPurpose: Provide a way for applications to verify a user's identity using telecom network data.
Key Features:
- Verification of identity attributes against telecom KYC records
- Confirmation of device possession through network authentication
- Verification of account history and tenure
- Cryptographically signed attestations of identity verification
How It Addresses AI Challenges: This API leverages the fact that telecom operators have verified the identity of their subscribers through KYC processes. By providing a way to verify identity against these records, it creates a trust anchor that is difficult for AI systems to falsify.

High PriorityPurpose: Provide a comprehensive verification service that combines multiple telecom data points to create a high-assurance verification of digital identity.
Key Features:
- Multi-factor verification using network data, device data, and behavioral data
- Risk-based assessment of identity confidence
- Continuous authentication based on ongoing network interactions
- Privacy-preserving verification that minimizes data sharing
How It Addresses AI Challenges: By combining multiple verification factors from telecom network data, this API creates a comprehensive identity verification that is extremely difficult for AI systems to spoof across all dimensions simultaneously.
View API DocumentationCross-Platform Identity Linking API
Medium PriorityPurpose: Securely link identities across different platforms and services using telecom network data as a trust anchor.
Key Features:
- Secure identity linking across services and platforms
- Verification of identity consistency across platforms
- Privacy-preserving identity federation
- User-controlled identity sharing and permissions
How It Addresses AI Challenges: This API helps to create a more cohesive digital identity that is anchored in telecom network verification, making it more difficult for AI systems to create convincing synthetic identities across multiple platforms.
View API DocumentationSecure Multi-Factor Authentication API
High PriorityPurpose: Leverage telecom network data to provide enhanced multi-factor authentication capabilities.
Key Features:
- Network-based authentication factors (SIM verification, network presence)
- Location-based authentication factors
- Behavioral authentication factors
- Risk-adaptive authentication that adjusts based on context
How It Addresses AI Challenges: This API provides authentication factors that are based on telecom network data and physical device presence, creating barriers that are difficult for AI systems to overcome without physical access to devices and networks.
View API DocumentationLocation and Behavioral Verification APIs
Real-time Location Attestation API
Very High PriorityPurpose: Provide cryptographically signed attestations of a user's physical location based on telecom network data.
Key Features:
- Real-time location verification using network data
- Historical location pattern verification
- Location consistency checks across time
- Cryptographically signed location attestations
How It Addresses AI Challenges: This API creates a verifiable record of physical presence that AI cannot easily fake, as it requires actual presence in the physical world as detected by telecom network infrastructure.
View API DocumentationCommunication Pattern Authentication API
High PriorityPurpose: Analyze a user's communication patterns to create a behavioral signature that can be used for authentication.
Key Features:
- Analysis of communication timing, frequency, and patterns
- Verification of communication network consistency
- Detection of anomalies in communication behavior
- Continuous authentication based on ongoing communication patterns
How It Addresses AI Challenges: This API leverages the fact that human communication patterns are highly individual and difficult to simulate convincingly. By analyzing these patterns, it can help distinguish between human and AI-driven communication.
View API DocumentationBehavioral Consistency API
Medium PriorityPurpose: Analyze patterns of behavior across telecom networks to establish a baseline of normal human behavior.
Key Features:
- Analysis of device usage patterns and behaviors
- Verification of behavioral consistency across time
- Detection of behavioral anomalies that might indicate AI impersonation
- Risk scoring based on behavioral analysis
How It Addresses AI Challenges: This API helps to identify anomalies in behavior that might indicate AI impersonation, leveraging the fact that human behavior follows patterns that are difficult for AI to simulate convincingly over time.
View API DocumentationNetwork Anomaly Detection API
Medium PriorityPurpose: Identify unusual patterns in network behavior that might indicate AI-driven activities.
Key Features:
- Detection of unusual network access patterns
- Identification of coordinated activities across multiple accounts
- Analysis of traffic patterns for bot-like behavior
- Risk scoring based on network behavior analysis
How It Addresses AI Challenges: This API helps to identify patterns of network behavior that might indicate AI-driven activities, such as coordinated bot networks or automated impersonation attempts, by analyzing network-level data that is difficult for AI systems to manipulate.
View API DocumentationContent and Trust APIs
Content Origin Verification API
High PriorityPurpose: Verify the origin of digital content by tracking its creation and transmission through telecom networks.
Key Features:
- Verification of content creation location and time
- Tracking of content transmission through networks
- Cryptographic signing of content provenance information
- Verification of device association with content creation
How It Addresses AI Challenges: This API helps to distinguish between human-created and AI-generated content by providing verifiable information about the origin and transmission of content through telecom networks, creating a chain of provenance that is difficult to falsify.
View API DocumentationTrust Score API
Very High PriorityPurpose: Provide a dynamic "trust score" for digital identities based on telecom network data.
Key Features:
- Calculation of trust scores based on multiple telecom data points
- Continuous updating of trust scores based on ongoing behavior
- Contextual trust assessment for different types of interactions
- Portable trust metrics that can be used across services
How It Addresses AI Challenges: This API creates a portable trust metric that can be used across services to indicate the likelihood that a digital identity represents a real human rather than an AI system, based on telecom network data that is difficult for AI to manipulate.
