Introduction to Sentry Interactive
Who are we?
Sentry Interactive is a software development company that offers PKOC mass enrollment for PACS systems with compatible reader hardware. Enabling enterprises, organizations, and institutions, across various industries to to deploy open standard mobile and physical credentials at scale and enhance and extend the life of their legacy and future access control system infrastructure.
What we do?
Sentry Interactive’s Public Key Open Credential (PKOC) mass enrollment integration with PACS enables enterprises to provision open-standard asymmetric mobile credentials to hundreds or thousands of users in a single operation, eliminating manual, one-by-one enrollment.
For access control integrators and dealers, it creates an immediate commercial opportunity while future-proofing existing legacy system installations and providing mobile credentials built on public key infrastructure (PKI).
PKOC Mass Enrollment Service
Integrated into PACS the mass enrollment service allows integrators, managed service providers (MSPs), or enterprises to provision open-standard asymmetric credentials to large employee populations in a single operation without manual in person enrollment.
Public Key Open Credential (PKOC) is a specification for open standard, asymmetric mobile and physical credentials. Unlike proprietary solutions, PKOC credentials are not tied to a single access control system provider or reader manufacturer – giving organizations true interoperability and freedom of choice.
Integrators and enterprises can now enroll hundreds or thousands of users with open-standard PKOC mobile and physical credentials in bulk, across multiple locations, remotely via the PACS.
Mass enrollment capabilities for Public Key Open Credential (PKOC) offers robust security and compliance measures, scalability, improved operational efficiency via centralized management, and delivers a more streamlined user experience for enterprises looking to roll out public-key credentials.
Benefits to the Integrator
Opens a new revenue stream by enabling public key open credentials (PKOC) to be sold to your customer base.
- Provides the ability for integrators to sell PKOC mobile credential licences and deliver mass enrollment capabilities via legacy systems your customers already use.
- Recurring SaaS revenue per enrolled user
- Upsell path from legacy card to PKOC mobile and physical credentials
- Competitive differentiator via non-proprietary interoperable solution that doesn’t lock your customers to specific readers or access control manufacturers
Helps customers modernize without ripping out existing infrastructure, helping to retain legacy system customers and upsell to your install base.
- Retains existing customer base and reduces customer churn risk
- Adds modern asymmetric public key open mobile credential capability to legacy systems
- Positions the systems integration company or dealer as an early adopter and innovator that provides the most secure, asymmetric and interoperable credentials for their current and future customers
Delivering a seamless, secure asymmetric credential issuance innovation that drives customer retention and builds further brand loyalty.
- Demonstrates innovation to end customers that enhances existing and future PACS installations.
- Supports future first end-to-end public/private key open-standard interoperability
- Win large enterprise tenders that are embracing PKOC with a mass enrollment service for PACS
- Increases revenue through mobile credential innovation with scalable enterprise level upsell potential
Dramatically reduces installation and onboarding time at large enterprise sites.
- Reduces on-site integrator time and cost per project
- Remote bulk PKOC credential provisioning via PACS
- Lowers administrative cost per credential deployed
How it works within PACS
Here’s how easy it is to enroll PKOC mobile credentials using C•CURE IQ.
- Organization adds employee to the C•CURE system using just their email.
- Employee receives a link to enroll their PKOC credential.
- Employee grants permissions to share the public key with the organization and adds their email secured with 2FA.
- The PKOC credential then populates in the C•CURE System.
This can be done for mobile and physical PKOC credentials to thousands of employees, across multiple locations. It’s designed to work with multiple cards, multiple phones, and multiple systems.
Benefits to Enterprises
Follow high-security and regulatory standards while reducing human error and the risk of data breaches.
- Asymmetric cryptography
- Role-based PKOC enrollment
- GDPR compliance, SSO & MFA support
- Fully post-quantum ready
- Adheres to NIST best practices
Grow across regions and departments without operational complexity or administration cost barriers.
- Issuance to hundreds or thousands of users in bulk
- Multi-system & multi-department support
- Seamless and scalable global deployment and regional expansion
Control everything from one place. Add or remove users in bulk without burdening IT or facilities teams.
- Bulk add / remove users
- Role-based permissions control

PKOC credentials are instantly deployed to employees’ phones. No waiting in queues for manual face-to-face enrollment. After the administrator has issued the invite it’s over to the employee to complete via self enrollment (if that’s the preferred deployment method for the organization).
- Single Sign-On (SSO)
- Automatic account provisioning
- Standardized access permissions
- Asymmetric encrypted mobile credentials
