Unifyia

In today’s digital world, security needs have evolved, driving organizations toward stronger identity solutions. Derived credentials play a critical role by extending secure digital identities across multiple devices and authentication methods. Unifyia offers a seamless platform for deploying and managing derived credentials on smart cards, YubiKeys, and ID Wallets, making it easier for enterprises to embrace modern identity management without the overhead of complex infrastructure.

What Are Derived Credentials?

Derived credentials are digital certificates that originate from a primary identity proof—like a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) or Common Access Card (CAC)—but are intended for use on mobile devices, tokens, or hardware security modules. They remove the need for employees to carry primary credentials everywhere while maintaining secure access to enterprise resources.

Unifyia’s Vendor-Agnostic Approach

One of Unifyia’s standout features is its vendor-agnostic capability. Unifyia integrates with third-party platforms, enabling businesses to manage credentials across a wide range of hardware, including smart cards, YubiKeys, and mobile wallets. This flexibility helps organizations avoid vendor lock-in while leveraging the tools they already trust.

Key Benefits of Unifyia’s Derived Credential Solution

Efficient Deployment Across Devices
Unifyia simplifies onboarding by automating the provisioning of derived credentials to smart cards, YubiKeys, and mobile wallets. Whether deploying to a workforce or enabling temporary access for contractors, Unifyia ensures quick and secure issuance.
Centralized Management
Managing multiple credentials can become cumbersome, especially across different platforms and hardware tokens. With Unifyia, IT administrators get one centralized dashboard to handle issuance, renewal, and revocation, reducing operational overhead and ensuring compliance.
ID Wallet Compatibility
As mobile solutions grow in importance, Unifyia supports digital ID wallets, enabling employees to use smartphones for secure access to work resources. Credentials stored in wallets are just as secure as those on hardware tokens like smart cards and YubiKeys, thanks to end-to-end encryption.
Support for Modern Authentication Standards
Unifyia integrates with FIDO protocols and PKI-based authentication, aligning with Zero Trust principles. It allows users to authenticate across various platforms while ensuring credentials are safe, even if a device is compromised.
Scalable Across Enterprises and Agencies
Whether it’s a federal agency managing PIV/CAC cards or a private enterprise securing YubiKey-based authentication, Unifyia provides a scalable infrastructure. The platform ensures that derived credentials can grow with the organization’s needs, maintaining performance even with thousands of users.

Simplifying Compliance and Security

Unifyia streamlines compliance with NIST 800-157r1 standards for derived credentials, ensuring that organizations meet stringent requirements without complexity. The platform supports both offline and online issuance, catering to scenarios where internet access may be restricted.

Additionally, credential expiration and revocation are automated, minimizing the risks associated with stale or compromised credentials. With integrated reporting tools, administrators can track the status of all issued credentials and ensure they remain up-to-date.

Why Organizations Choose Unifyia

Organizations that manage multiple types of hardware tokens and ID solutions need a unified platform that simplifies deployment without sacrificing security. Unifyia’s ability to handle different credential types, combined with its integration into existing identity ecosystems, provides a compelling solution for enterprises looking to implement or scale derived credential programs.
