Digital access - How it works

Nexus Smart ID Digital access is a software-based authentication and federation solution used to enable secure access to digital services – no matter where those services or users are located. The product supports many user-friendly two-factor authentication (2FA) methods and provides identity federation, enabling users to log on just once (single sign-on) to reach all managed resources.

Nexus Smart ID Identity provider is a slimmed version of Smart ID Digital access, designed for you who need to use existing identities and authentication methods, but not the other features. For example, Smart ID Identity provider can be used together with Nexus GO Signing.
