This technology makes the citizens’ data more secure and is the core of any corporation or government security policy.

Oberthur Technologies’ ID-One PIV® for eSE solution is a software suite combining a JavaCard™ applet loaded into the embedded Secure Element (eSE) and an Android application. It enables end-users’ biometric identification to open doors, sign and encrypt emails or use PIV (Personal Identity Verification) features for a secure cloud access. This product is an answer to organizations which use PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) cards for physical and/or logical access control but which do not know how to properly manage mobility of their employees.
Moreover, the ID-One PIV® for eSE solution combines the latest cryptographic services of the ID-One PIV® application with PEARL, OT’s eSE. Thanks to its ID-One PIV® and eSE expertise, Oberthur Technologies offers to both corporations and governments a solution which is a combination of hardware, software and identification adapted to the mobile world.
Facing the new challenges of the electronic age, Oberthur Technologies’ ID-One PIV® for eSE solution reinforces security features, prevents identity theft and provides functions for multiple applications in both real and digital world in a mobile device. Being always online, this solution offers remote administration capabilities, enabling download of new JavaCard™ applications, creation and update of user credentials on a 7/24 basis, wherever the employee is located.
