Smart Card Management

For organizations seeking to deploy smart cards to end-users, ActivIdentity provides a secure and cost-efficient issuance and lifecycle management solution for smart cards and the applications and credentials they hold: Applets, PIN code, PKI keys and certificates, one-time password keys, static passwords and biometrics.

Since ActivIdentity products support a wide variety of devices and credentials, organizations have the flexibility to deploy different devices to different user populations, and to issue new devices and new credentials and applications as their needs grow.
