What is P2A authentication?

P2A messaging (person-to-application) involves a mobile user sending an SMS to an application. Unlike Application-to-Person (A2P) messaging, which involves the business initiating the interaction, P2A requires the end-user to initiate contact by sending an SMS to business-registered numbers, such as short codes or long codes. This process can be either user-initiated or triggered by apps running on the device, with the message being sent in the background without user intervention.
