HID Global has introduced a mobility initiative that includes solutions, services, investments and alliances that expand the capabilities of trusted IDs on mobile devices across a growing range of access control, authentication and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. A highlight of the initiative is the company’s latest mobility solutions unveiled at ISC West 2016, including the new HID goID platform for mobile IDs which makes it possible to carry a driver license and other citizen IDs on smartphones, and new enhancements to HID Mobile Access that now enable the use of smartwatches and tablets, in addition to smartphones, for secure access to buildings.
“The HID Global mobility initiative dramatically elevates how users regard security by enabling them to confidently connect to and use more applications, on the go, than ever before, with a single, trusted ID that can be carried on a smart device,” said Stefan Widing, President and CEO of HID Global. The HID goID platform for mobile IDs enables federal, state and local government agencies to issue credentials over the air to citizens’ smartphones for driver’s licenses, passports, social security cards and other national ID documents. The new HID Mobile Access provide smart device choice, beyond the smartphone, to open doors and gates. New HID Mobile Access Portal and App software developer kits (SDKs) enable partners and end-users to create innovative, customized mobile access solutions that can be fully integrated into their back-end systems.
