# Devices Pairing

## What is Device Pairing in inabit?

Device pairing in inabit refers to the process of connecting a mobile device of a signer (or higher level) user to the inabit platform. This connection establishes a secure communication channel between the user's mobile device and the wallets enclave within the inabit platform. By pairing a device, we can securely identify and authenticate the user, ensuring that all interactions and transactions carried out via the mobile device are legitimate and protected.

### Why is Device Pairing Important?

Device pairing is crucial for several reasons:

* **Security**: It ensures a secure connection between the user's device and the inabit platform, protecting sensitive information and transactions.
* **Authentication**: It helps in verifying the identity of the user, preventing unauthorized access.
* **User Experience**: It streamlines the process of accessing inabit services, making it convenient for users to perform transactions directly from their mobile devices. Approvers can easily open their mobile app and decide if they wish to approve or reject a transaction by a simple click.
