Smart credentials are encoded information about who you are that lets you identify yourself to various organizations such as a bank, an application, or your employer in a secure way. A smart credential (mobile or physical) manages the smart credentials you need to gain access to your protected resource.
IDaaS supports the following smart credentials:
● Mobile smart credentials—The mobile smart credential identity resides on your Entrust Identity app on your mobile device. To use the mobile smart credential, you must activate the smart credential on your mobile smart credential app.
● Physical smart credentials—A hardware device that contains the smart credential identity, for example, a Yubico YubiKey. To use a physical smart credential, you must install Entrust Certificate Agent on your end device (Windows desktop).
You can only use Active mobile smart credentials for push authentication. Both Active and Inactive smart credentials can be used for Smart Login.
If your account has been set up for Smart Login and you have a smart credential paired with your account, you will not be prompted for your user ID and password when you attempt to authenticate to Identity as a Service. Your mobile smart credential confirms your identity and allows you to access your account.
