SMART Authentication System

Identity and access management system with multi-factor authenication and single sign-on (SSO), it offers simple deployment and management for IT, and a frictionless experience for existing and future users. Systems can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud and hybrid. Option to use digital certificates for a higher level of security. Think of this as a virture smart card that can be provisioned on an iOS or Android device. Credential-based passwordless authentication provisions a digital certificate onto the worker’s phone, transforming it into their trusted workplace identity. When the phone is unlocked via biometrics, the worker is logged into their workstation and applications when in close proximity and logged out when not. A secure, frictionless experience for all, and no more password resets.

Authentication ?

Authentication is the process of determining whether someone or something is, in fact, who or what it declares itself to be. Authentication technology provides access control for systems by checking to see if a user's credentials match the credentials in a database of authorized users or in a data authentication server.

How authentication is used

User authentication occurs within most human-to-computer interactions outside of guest accounts, automatically logged-in accounts and kiosk computer systems. Generally, a user has to choose a username or user ID and provide a valid password to begin using a system. User authentication authorizes human-to-machine interactions in operating systems and applications, as well as both wired and wireless networks to enable access to networked and internet-connected systems, applications and resources.
