A smart card is a secure microchip that enables user authentication using cryptographic keys. It stores public key credentials and a personal identification number (PIN) for a two-step login process. Smart cards provide strong protection, making it difficult to compromise user information. Tampering with smart cards won't reveal user details like the PIN, enhancing overall security.
By assigning users to specific groups and defining access rights within these groups, authorization management is optimized.
Clear policies define who can access which resources and to what extent. This minimizes the risk of unauthorized access.
The use of smart cards, groups, and policies enables centralized management of access rights, which facilitates compliance with security standards.
Smart cards enable detailed logging of transactions and access. This allows companies and organizations to better track activities and identify potential security breaches.
Smartcards provide a robust two-factor authentication method that significantly increases the level of security. In addition to possession of the physical card, the smartcard also requires PIN entry or even biometric data (also in conjunction with our palm vein scanners) to grant access. This additional security layer makes it more difficult for attackers to gain unauthorized access.
