SAFR Mobile Credentials offers increased security through a 2-factor authentication without the inconvenience of having to present 2 separate credentials to the reader. While SAFR Mobile credentials includes a 2nd credential (mobile phone), users do not need to take an explicit action to present that credential to the reader. The user can leave the mobile phone in the pocket or bag and it will automatically transfer the credential to SAFR SCAN.
SAFR Mobile Credentials also offers increased privacy by limiting the distribution of PII (personally identifiable information). The user’s PII stays with the user, not with the access control hardware device. It does this by capturing the face image and biometric signature of the face on the phone and transferring that information to a trusted SAFR SCAN device only when within range. When the user moves their phone out of range of SAFR SCAN, the PII is discarded.
