The problem as published
High-volume retail platforms must authenticate customers quickly. Extra MFA steps raise cart abandonment; long-lived sessions and device tokens improve conversion but remain replayable if stolen from browsers, extensions, or support tooling.
How ENI6MA would apply
ENI6MA would not replace the entire consumer login UX on day one. It would protect high-risk mutations (payment instrument changes, address updates, bulk order APIs, and internal seller tools) with Gate reverse proxy and Pass+ or SDK envelopes, so the ambient session alone would not authorize those actions.
Expected outcomes if implemented
- Would keep low-friction browse/buy flows while raising the bar on account-takeover actions.
- Would make stolen session cookies insufficient for privileged account changes.
- Would give risk teams a dial: shadow mode on checkout-adjacent APIs, then proof-required.
Reference architecture
Gate: reverse proxy + Pass+ · Circuit: standard / hybrid · Migration: shadow → proof-required on high-risk routes
Absolute mechanism claims hold under the reference architecture.
