CHROME ROADS CARD

FIDO Alliance member

A next-generation badge.
Identity. Authentication. Access.

An intelligent authenticator. Beyond the ID badge.

The Chrome Roads Card supports FIDO2 and X.509 authentication, with USB, NFC and Bluetooth connectivity. MIFARE DESFire EV3 enables physical access control. Our patent-pending extensions help people review specific actions and confirm their intent.

IDENTITY & ACCESS

Something you have.
Something you know.
Something you are.

Your Chrome Roads Card or phone app is something you have. Your PIN is something you know. Your fingerprint, verified by a fingerprint sensor, is something you are.

A DEDICATED AUTHENTICATOR

Focused on the actions that matter.

ChromeID is designed for identity, access and approval, with a focused application environment. It does not provide general-purpose web browsing, email or social media. Your organization controls the workflows presented to the cardholder.

REVIEW & APPROVE

Confirm your intent.

Our patent-pending extensions build on FIDO2 authentication to confirm intent. Review the details on the card’s color touch display and authorize the specific action shown.

COMMUNICATIONS & SAFETY

Connected when it matters.

Bring messages and emergency alerts to the cardholder. A panic button connects a request for help to the person making it; location and motion sensing support workplace safety workflows through the Chrome Roads Server.

Put the card to work in your environment.

Hardware development is advancing toward pilot use. Plan the workflows and facility integrations for your deployment.

INTEGRATION & DEPLOYMENT

Integrate the services.
Build your workflows.

The Chrome Roads Server is the software side of the Identity Platform. Use its APIs and SDKs to connect the components you choose to your applications, card operations and enterprise workflows.

Authentication & transaction confirmation

Authentication & Intent Services verify identity and approval of specific actions through the FIDO2 relying party (RP). A mobile SDK connects these services to your existing app.

Card & credential management

Provision cards, manage credentials and monitor card health, including battery and device status.

Indoor location services

Bring card location and proximity information into workplace visibility and location-aware workflows.

Text messaging to the card

Deliver individual messages, team broadcasts and operational alerts to the card’s display.

Panic-button alerts

Connect a cardholder’s request for help with the enterprise’s emergency response workflow.

Fall detection

Use card motion sensing to support fall-detection events and workplace safety notifications.

Door & facility access

Support physical access workflows using the card’s MIFARE DESFire EV3 credentials and compatible door-access systems.

Over-the-air card updates

Manage delivery of firmware and software updates to Chrome Roads cards throughout their deployment.

Programmable with our card SDK

Build custom applications and tailor the Chrome Roads Card’s interface and workflows with our card SDK.

Build on your existing systems with connected card services and compatible facility integrations.
