Papers from this era, such as On the Security Verification of a Short Message Service Protocol , highlighted that SMS is not inherently secure because it travels over unencrypted mobile networks [35].

: Proposals for 3D-AES block cipher and other end-to-end encryption methods sought to secure the SMS content itself during transmission [21].

: The server generates a unique, time-sensitive code and sends it via the mobile network to the user's registered phone number [13].

Below is an overview of the core concepts, security risks, and technical implementations as they were established or studied in 2019. 1. Core Workflow of SMS Verification : The server generates a unique, time-sensitive code

: This directive, which came into full effect in September 2019 , forced banks to implement Strong Customer Authentication (SCA). Many banks chose SMS-OTP as the most accessible second factor for compliance [6]. 3. Security Risks Identified in 2019 Research
