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.
PKOC Mass Enrollment Service
Integrated into PACS the mass enrollment service allows 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.
Enterprises can now enroll hundreds or thousands of users with open-standard PKOC mobile and physical credentials in bulk, across multiple locations, remotely via their 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.

How it works within PACS
Here’s how easy it is to enroll PKOC mobile credentials using the Sentry Interactive PKOC mass enrollment SDK in PACS:
- Organization adds employee to the PACS 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 PACS 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.
