Enroll public key credentials for physical access via your platform
Give your enterprise customers a path to public key mobile credentials, without them touching a single panel or reader already installed.
Offer enterprise clients a practical path to asymmetric credential enrollment through your PACS
Pioneer mass enrollment of asymmetric mobile credentials directly inside your own platform with Sentry’s Open Credential Mass Enrollment service. Your enterprise customers can start deploying immediately, no hardware swap, no rip and replace, and every enrolled user becomes a new source of recurring revenue for you.
Provide a scalable path to open credentials
Faster onboarding at enterprise sites
Enterprises already running your systems can start deploying asymmetric mobile credentials straight away without any changes to hardware directly through your system. Installing Sentry Smart Access Tiles even removes the need to install PKOC compatible reader hardware.
New recurring revenue, per enrolled user
Add the Open Credential Mass Enrollment synchronization service to your PACS platform and start generating recurring revenue for every enrolled asymmetric open mobile credential
How to get started
Sign up and assess
Become a partner and assess enterprise clients looking to support the latest credential specifications, like Public Key Open Credential (PKOC), so that they can stay ahead of the cybersecurity curve and avoid potential future credential security breaches like relay attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, or credential cloning, as seen with symmetric credential technology.
Integrate and deploy
Integrate Sentry’s Open Credential Mass Enrollment service directly into your cloud-based access control platform. Enterprise sites already running your PACS can start deploying asymmetric mobile credentials without any hardware changes straight away. If they install Sentry Smart Access Tiles, they don’t even need PKOC-compatible readers.
Generate recurring revenue
Bill per enrolled user, annually, and add it as a subscription line item alongside your existing service, maintenance, or platform revenue, recurring revenue for every user, not a one-time sale.
Provide mobile credentials built different
Asymmetric cryptography, not shared secrets
Readerless mobile credentials use a public/private key pair. The public key verifies identity and is exchanged with the cloud services and the private key stays in the secure enclave of the user’s device. Every credential exchange is a unique challenge-response handshake.
NIST-aligned and Zero Trust
Built to align with NIST cybersecurity standards and Zero Trust Architecture. Trust is not based on location, network, or prior authentication. Every access decision is a fresh, cryptographically verified event.
Centralized, auditable access logs
Every unlock event including user, time, and location is logged centrally and exportable from one centralized platform whether it be the Sentry Interactive Platform or the OEMs portal.
Compatible across multiple PACS of all ages
Software integrates directly with the physical access control system (PACS) already installed, including proximity-based access control systems, as it bypasses reader hardware integration.
Instant, remote revocation
Access provisions and revokes remotely and automatically via time restrictions, with no admin site visit required.
Readerless, mobile-first credentialing
The user’s smartphone stores the credential and acts as the active reader. All that’s required at the door is a passive, wireless Sentry Smart Access Tile, no dedicated wired reader, no professional installation.

Frequently asked questions
Enterprises are now looking at the latest credential specifications so that they can stay ahead of the cybersecurity curve and avoid potential future credential security breaches like relay attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, or credential cloning, as seen with symmetric credential technology. Many are therefore looking to public key credential specifications like PKOC and Aliro. This integration will allow you to practically roll out asymmetric credentials based on specifications like PKOC at scale to your enterprise clients as long as they have your PACS installed.
Asymmetric mobile credentials enrolled via your PACS platform can work with PKOC-compatible reader hardware, or with Sentry Smart Access Tiles, as an alternative or transitional solution. This gives you flexibility depending on what your enterprise customer already has installed.
Enterprise sites running your PACS can start deploying asymmetric mobile credentials without any hardware changes straight away. If they install Sentry Smart Access Tiles, they don’t even need PKOC-compatible readers.
Adding the Open Credential Mass Enrollment service to your platform generates annual recurring revenue for every user enrolled with an asymmetric mobile credential, rather than a single upfront licensing or hardware fee.
Enrollment happens on your platform. The public key is sent from your platform to the user’s device, it is then signed by the private key stored in the user’s device and sent back to your platform to activate the credential in your system. Access logs, including user, time, and location for every unlock event, stay centralized and exportable from that same platform.
