HID Global’s ActivID® Credential Management System (CMS) is an on-premise software that enables organizations to issue an authentication credential that goes beyond perimeter security. Clients can choose from smart cards, smart USB keys, Windows® TPMs and mobile phones for secure access to individual workstations and servers within the firewall, VPNs and applications. This high assurance credential can also enable digital signing and encrypt data, hard drives, documents and emails.

The ActivID Credential Management System is ideal for:

Medium to large enterprises issuing converged access cards or smart authenticators for employee authentication, data encryption and data signing
Organizations deploying Personal Identity Verification (PIV) cards and commercial organizations deploying PIV Interoperable (PIV-I) or Commercial Identity Verification (CIV) cards
Governments issuing citizen identification cards with PKI-based credentials

ActivID CMS is the only offering in the industry that makes it possible for organizations to create, manage and use a single PKI smart card for both IT and physical access—all while utilizing a unified solution from a single vendor.

ActivID CMS helps organizations migrate to the cloud when those organizations need to comply with mandates and regulations that require stronger authentication or multi-factor authentication.

Organizations deploying ActivID CMS are able to securely provision PKI certificates and other credentials to a range of different devices, including smart cards, virtual smart cards, tokens and mobile devices. It is also scalable to millions of credentials in complex environments with multiple user groups. ActivID CMS interfaces with physical access control systems (PACS) to automate the PIV or PIV-I card enrollment process, enabling users to authenticate at the door without the need to re-enroll their card.
