FIDO2 Smart Card Batch Issuance

Now, businesses can reduce complexity and achieve a powerful combination of physical and logical access in multiple devices, all from one platform. 

Complexity is the top reason organizations cite for delaying the implementation of passkeys, according to the 2024 survey by the FIDO Alliance. This new feature targets this pain point. Implementation of passkeys is no longer complex with Versasec vSEC:CMS.

Smart Card Printers

The new feature works with smart card printers. A smart card printer functions by first encoding data onto an embedded microchip within the card, often via contact or contactless methods. Second, it applies visual elements like text, graphics, and photos onto the card’s surface using various printing technologies such as dye-sublimation or retransfer, effectively personalizing and securing the smart card for its intended use.

Batch Issuance

Batch issuance has always been a core feature in Versasec’s credential management offering. With batch issuance, businesses can dispatch and print on the smart card while configuring it, ready to secure the new employee on their first day. Whether issuing a single smart card or a batch for a group or the entire workforce, we deliver automation and efficiency for IT administrators worldwide.

We’re expanding this functionality to FIDO2 Smart Cards. With vSEC:CMS, you can now configure FIDO2, PKI, and Physical Access on the smart card, print and customize the graphics, and have the smart card ready for usage, out of the press. 

vSEC:CMS FIDO2 Features

Naturally, FIDO2 Smart Card Batch Issuance includes vSEC:CMS FIDO2 features: 

• IdP Provisioning enables wide-scale users to be enrolled in IdPs from vSEC:CMS by administrators, adding control and taking away the complexity from users to do on their own.
• Versasec FIDO2 Enterprise – set of functionalities to add control and simplicity for administrators with FIDO2. Includes Allow list, Set minimum PIN length, Disable FIDO2 Reset, Online, Offline PIN Unblock, and more.
• Multiple Passkeys Enrollment allows, during Issuance, the enrollment of one authenticator in more than two different IdPs and generates multiple passkeys simultaneously. This feature saves time and effort. Enroll a new employee to your selected IdPs from our list of available integrations (Entrust, Gluu, Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Ping Identity, or Thales). 

Finally, for a higher number of printing, the vSEC:CMS Issuing Station can be set up where in one flow, the organization is capable of printing with several printers in parallel.

vSEC:CMS is designed to streamline your smart card and security key management processes, offering increased security, flexibility, and ease of use. Download vSEC:CMS today.
