Issue and electronically personalize cards/tokens - With SafeNet MyID, organizations have a secure Web-based system to generate and load digital credentials for central or distributed issuance to many users.
Manage deployed cards and USB tokens - SafeNet MyID gives enterprise users the power to easily request and renew their personal digital credentials. A user accesses the SafeNet MyID through a published Web site and receives a list of menu options that are available according to enterprise policies. Requesting certificates, changing the card pass phrase, and renewing certificates, etc., are all available through the Web-based client interface.
Support smart card/token users throughout the organization - SafeNet MyID provides Help Desk tools for supporting smart card and token users in the field, including user card/token unblocking if the card becomes locked by too many incorrect card log-in attempts, re-issuance for lost or forgotten smart cards/tokens, revocation of digital credentials to invalidate lost cards, etc.

Demonstrated Interoperability

SafeNet has earned a strong reputation in the industry for developing smart card and USB token technology that strictly adheres to industry standards, allowing for seamless integration with other leading information security products. SafeNet MyID follows in this tradition, featuring broad interoperability with the leading digital credential and directory software solutions.

Enterprise-controlled Card Deployment

SafeNet MyID gives enterprises complete control over the deployment of smart cards and USB tokens to users. SafeNet MyID integrates with a company's existing card printing equipment or with other standard card printers to enable immediate deployment of cryptographic smart cards for identity-based applications to users throughout the organization. This is especially well-suited for enterprises that are using SafeNet smart cards as a multi-functional ID badge for both physical and logical access/security.

SafeNet MyID Security

Smart card and digital credential management must maintain the highest level of security. To ensure the integrity of these elements, all management operations are digitally signed, providing a secure and auditable data stream. All critical data transfers are encrypted, and SSL is used to enhance security. Critical fields in the security database are also encrypted.

To access SafeNet MyID, users must have their personal smart card or iKey, which secures and protects the SafeNet MyID environment.
