Every day millions of people type in a user name and password to gain access to their business-critical systems.  When passwords are lost or forgotten, they create huge support headaches and cost companies thousands in support fees. To prevent this, some people post their login information where it can be found by others, which makes authenticating users nearly impossible.

The best way to prevent this is to use Two-Factor Authentication. Normal authentication is based only on one factor; something the user KNOWS (his user name and password). Two-Factor Authentication provides greater security by relying on something a person HAS (a smart card) and something he KNOWS (his PIN).

IDExpert^® SmartACT (Advanced Credential Technology) is scalable credential management software that makes creating and managing ID cards and digital certificates simple. The beauty of SmartACT is that you can begin issuing ID cards today and migrate into PKI and Two-Factor Authentication as your needs increase.

You can also eliminate expensive support calls to reset passwords by utilizing SmartACT’s User Self Services. If you forget your password, you can reset it using a series of challenge questions to authenticate your identity.  As a systems administrator, you can configure these questions to prevent unauthorized access while decreasing your workload by letting your users reset their passwords as necessary.

If you issue digital certificates on smart cards, you know those certificates will expire. SmartACT can help keep certificates up to date by automatically sending emails to alert users to apply for a new card, if that’s your corporate policy. With User Self Services, your users can login and request a new certificate for their smart card as well, which means you don’t have to print a new card or tie up your card issuance team.

If your needs go beyond smart cards, you can also use SmartACT to issue and manage USB tokens and NFC mobile phones. And don’t forget that you can also issue temporary cards or visitor badges from SmartACT, too!

SmartACT is designed to provide end-to-end lifecycle management of credentials and digital identities by giving you the tools to enroll, issue, verify, audit and terminate credentials or identities. But even the lifecycle management is scalable to your needs. For instance, you may only want to manage the lifecycles of certain credentials. If that’s the case, your investment is limited to those credentials. And you can expand the number of credentials you manage at any time.

The included powerful reporting and query capabilities put information at your fingertips. Design your own queries and reports to use in your organization.  Or configure the event triggers to send you status update emails when credentials are terminated, expired, revoked or temporary cards are issued.

Photo IDs are only as good as the images printed on the card, and that starts with capturing a high resolution photograph. Even if you use smart cards to logon to your network, your ID card may still be used as a flash pass at guard stations or just for visual authentication across various facilities. SmartACT has a powerful image capturing module that makes taking good photos easy. It uses components like Automatic Image Enhancement to automatically crop your images and enhance the colors and contrast of the image to give you the best print quality.

Best of all, SmartACT is a web-based software platform, making remote connections a snap. Based on J2EE/Java Technology, SmartACT can be accessed from anywhere in your network or even across the world through a web browser. With its built-in multilingual support, you can have production clients running the software in 5 countries in their native languages, producing and issuing ID badges, smart cards and visitor badges simultaneously!

PKI, credential lifecycle management, issue cards, USB tokens and NFC mobile phones, image capture—SmartACT has a lot to offer. But don’t take our word for it! Try the software out for yourself.
