HID Global ActivID® Credential Management System (CMS)

With the ActivID Credential Management System from HID Global, organizations can use the same smart card system developed for the Dept of Defense CAC program to centrally issue and manage credentials. ActivID CMS leverages digital certificates through a patented secure channel to issue and manage the complete credential lifecycle. CMS credentials establish trusted users’ identities to securely manage access to all their networks, PCs, in-house, public and private cloud applications and physical building access.

  • Developed for the DoD, U.S. Government agencies and contractors can leverage ActivID CMS to issue and manage Personal Identity Verification (PIV) cards and PIV-Interoperable (PIV-I) cards in stringent compliance with FIPS-201.
  • Easy integration with a wide variety of directories, front or backend identity management and provisioning systems, certificate authorities, and physical access control systems 
  • Customizable workflows and policies that readily adapt to a variety of environments and deployment scenarios. 
  • Credentials can also enable digital signing and encrypt data, hard drives, documents and emails.
