ProdataKey (PDK), an innovator of cloud-based networked and wireless access control products and services, releases a whitepaper that explores why widespread adoption of mobile credentialing in conjunction with access control systems has lagged behind other smart phone applications, and how new technologies promise to overcome barriers related to a security/convenience trade-off previously inherent in such solutions.
By virtue of their processing power, smart phones can provide superior encryption, and security, than RFID cards, fobs and smart cards. They are also more carefully guarded by employees.
