Frequently Asked Questions

What is mobile access?

Mobile access allows users to present credentials stored on a mobile device, such as Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, or HID Mobile Access® credentials.

What is mobile authentication?

Mobile authentication uses a mobile device as part of the identity verification process, often through multifactor authentication or authentication approval workflows.

Are mobile credentials the same as mobile authentication?

No. Mobile credentials act like digital badges, while mobile authentication helps verify the identity of the user.

Which KSI products support mobile technologies?

KSI supports both mobile-assisted authentication workflows and mobile credential-based access across select product lines.

Hands-free mobile authentication is available on designated products within the KSI-1700 Series, KSI-1802 Series, KSI-1900 Series, and KSI-2000 Series. These products feature embedded Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) technology and are designed to support environments utilizing Imprivata Confirm ID® mobile authentication workflows.

Mobile credential support is available on the KSI-2100 Series, which features an integrated HID OMNIKEY 5127CK Mini Reader Module.
