Nexus Common Access Card

An integrated solution for the management of user identities and privileges in physical and logical security systems. This fills the gap between traditional identity management, which controls who a user is, and the practical capabilities associated with the identity, such as specific building access, time management, and follow-me printing.


The solution is a master system with many functions:
  • Process control of ID management – including image capturing, smart card production and PKI certificate management
  • Access privilege management for existing physical and digital security systems 
  • The system controls the lifecycle of an identity and includes both templates for typical systems and customization support for unique environments.

Business value:

  • Cost reduction – Lean administration of credential issuing and privilege management.
  • Security – Centralised administration and auditing of both logical and physical access for better control.
  • Increased productivity – One smart card per user for all functions.

Components:

Nexus Certificate Manager – management of certificates for authentication, encryption and digital signing.

Nexus SmartACT – user-friendly card management software that controls the features and graphical appearance of the cards. The web-based tool includes pre-configured roles for the issuance, lifecycle management and self-service management of credentials.

Nexus Personal Security Client – the PKI middleware, connecting smartcard with IT applications, like desktop and VPN login, email encryption, document signing etc.
