Device Profiles

Your organization might opt to issue multiple kinds of identities such as smart cards, security keys, and digital identities on mobile devices. Each type of device supported by the Unifyia platform offers authentication and encryption methods, ensuring safe and secure platform access. Before issuance, it's necessary to establish a profile, meaning configuring the device management keys for each identity type. These keys facilitate the management of card applications and data, enabling operators to allocate specific devices to users. Each device comes with default manufacturer keys. It is essential to replace the manufacturer (factory) keys with the customer keys to ensure security and risk mitigation.
