Digital ID provider Nexus has introduced the Vault, a physical access and network logon solution utilizing HID Global’s iCLASS technology that will allow use of just one card to provide credentials for multiple purposes while reducing training costs and help desk calls. The Vault is designed to store encrypted user credentials that can authenticate the card holder.
Stockholm–Nexus, a leading provider of digital identity and information security solutions, has announced the launch of its Vault enabled by HID Global’s iCLASS® 13.56 MHz technology, providing a contactless logical access solution. The Vault is a secure store of encrypted user credentials that can be used to authenticate the card holder, provide network access and enable a range of security applications.
This development provides an integrated solution for physical access and network logon and takes the reliability and security of HID’s contactless technology into the logical access arena, delivering a number of advantages to the customer:
–A single low-cost card with one set of credentials for multiple purposes
–Reduced training costs and help desk calls
–Lower support and maintenance costs.
“This development offers HID customers the opportunity to extend their existing solution into network access, and provides new customers with another compelling reason to choose iCLASS” said Peter Gille, CEO Technology Nexus AB.
