PIN Caching Service

The purpose of ActivID ActivClient (referred to as ActivClient) PIN Caching service is to enable users to use the smart card without entering the PIN for every card operation, while preserving the security of the smart card solution.

ActivClient PIN Cache is configurable to enable customers to determine the best compromise between security (more PIN prompts) and usability (less PIN prompts), as needed for their specific business requirements.

Section Defining the ActivID ActivClient Policies provides a list of the policies relevant to PIN Cache configuration. This section provides more in-depth information about this ActivClient component.
