Enterprises now have the ability to practically roll out asymmetric mobile and physical access credentials based on PKOC to thousands of users, across multiple locations.

We explore how visitor management software providers can enhance their platforms by integrating a mobile access credential feature that is already compatible with a portfolio of physical access control systems, and doesn’t rely on reader hardware.

Beyond door access, Sentry’s mobile credentials interacting with the passive NFC Smart Access Tile enables secure digital attendance registration, passwordless login, automated service records, and more, powered by cloud-based authentication and asymmetric cryptography.

Sentry Interactive explores how warehouses and distribution centres can introduce open standard mobile credentials alongside their existing keycards and legacy credential types, adding a more secure, more manageable access layer without disrupting the infrastructure or workflows already in place.

Learn how time and attendance, visitor management, check-in, ERP software have the opportunity to enhance their value offering with a mobile credential feature embedded alongside existing features, that doesn’t rely on hardware.

Mobile access credentials that support open standards like the PKOC framework deliver greater flexibility, stronger security through asymmetric cryptography, and freedom from vendor lock-in. Empowering organizations to manage asymmetric mobile credentials across multiple locations, platforms, and hardware ecosystems seamlessly.

Mixed-use commercial buildings face unique access management challenges. This article explores why legacy keycard systems are struggling to keep up, how mobile credentials simplify access for complex multi-tenant properties, and why modernising doesn’t require replacing your existing access control hardware.

This article covers the key differences between symmetric and asymmetric encryption for mobile access credentials, why symmetric key sharing creates security risks and vendor lock-in, and how asymmetric encryption standards like PKOC deliver greater security, interoperability, and cost-effective scalability for enterprises.

Sentry Interactive introduces PKOC mass enrollment, enabling enterprises to rapidly deploy secure, interoperable credentials at scale. The SDK streamlines provisioning, lifecycle management, and integration, allowing organizations to efficiently onboard users, reduce costs, and enhance security across global access control systems.
