Invention:
CardSync is a middleware credential management system designed to work with systems in which one ID card is used to access a wide range of services. Unlike traditional credential management systems in which direct connections must be established between the provider and every downstream system, CardSync requires only a single upstream and downstream connection. This streamlines the credential management process and makes it easier to switch, add, and remove vendors. CardSync also provides real-time credential data to enhance security and reduce fraud.
Background:
Universities, as well as hospitals, corporations, and other organizations, need secure credential management systems that can keep data safe while allowing for smooth access and transactions. CardSync provides middleware for credential management in universities. It allows for seamless transitions between vendors and provides real-time credential data.
Applications:
- Credential management
- Information security
- Middleware
Advantages:
- Enhanced security
- Flexibility
- Real-time credential data
- Streamlines connections
- Easier to manage multiple vendors
