Digital Identity Authenticator vs MDU

Isosec’s Virtual Smartcard is the only cloud-based service available to the NHS that virtualises smartcards. WHAT IS A VIRTUAL SMARTCARD? FASTER PROCESS - Saves significant time compared to physical smartcard use - no more lost cards, forgotten passwords or multiple credential delays.

SAFER ACCESS - get two factor authentication from within the app via QR code or push notification, making your Virtual Smartcard safer and easier to use. KEY FEATURES: NHS SPINE AND WINDOWS AD AUTHENTICATION - just like a physical card, Virtual Smartcard is completely transparent to Spine clinical apps EASY SELF SERVICE - the Virtual Smartcard Self Service portal gives you total control of your enrolment, device options and account settings, such as passwords and security recovery options. INTEGRATED AUTHENTICATION - Virtual Smartcard is cloud-based, and is device, systems and hardware agnostic, so you get the same integrated experience as a physical smartcard. DIGITAL SIGNATURE FOR E-PRESCRIBING - Digital Identity Authenticator supports issuing electronic prescriptions faster and simpler with biometric authorization directly on your mobile device.
