# Overview of the Orchestration SDK

The SDK consists of a client component. This component interprets the orchestration commands and executes them in a mobile application, fully hiding the complexity of the secure features’ integration. The encoding and decoding of the orchestration commands is transparent to the mobile application.

[Orchestration example – remote authentication overview](/mobile/docs/orch-sdk-ig-overview-of-the-sdk-5-12-0#Fig_Remote_Auth_Overview) illustrates an example of orchestration. It provides an overview of the Remote Authentication feature. If there is a risk for a given login request (e.g. unknown computer), the OneSpan Trusted Identity platform (TID) can dynamically request a step-up authentication on the mobile application using an authentication method (e.g. biometric recognition) that has been previously defined for that type of risk.
