PEIG - ADUCID Client software

PEIG® is the fundamental client element of ADUCID® that fully manages electronic identities of its user.

PEIG documentation is located at http://www.aducid.com/support

Currently PEIG is supported on Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Mac OS X, Android (4.0 ) and iOS 7 devices

Windows and OSX machines also support PEIG located on a USB token.

Windows PEIG PC, OSX PEIG

Windows/ OSX PEIG runs on the same computer as user’s browser. Browser processes AIM-proxy script which calls PEIG Redirect Adapter module on local host port.

PEIG USB

Windows / OSX PEIG has option to store identity files on a USB. This feature is accessible for every PEIG PC / OSX installation inserting USB disk and preparing it for ADUCID.

iOS PEIG and Android PEIG

PEIG can run on mobile phones or tablets with Android 4.0 or iOS 8 . PEIG can be called in used in two ways:

  • QR code scanning using phone / tablet camera
  • calling aducid: URI schema (on Android Intent is preferred)

Users can authenticate into desktop application scanning a QR code using mobile PEIG (or QR code displayed by another PEIG).

Native applications are also supported. They can call PEIG directly using schema / intent or use PEIG API (Papi) – See Integration with mobile applications

Personal factor (PF)

To proof his/ her identity ADUCID provides a feature called personal factor. PF something only user know or has.

Secret

The most common PF is some kind of secret. User can define a picture sequence or number sequence.

NFC

On Android phone a user can use a NFC tag as his / her secret.

Apple Touch ID

On iOS devices with fingerprint sensor (iPhone 5S or better) user can activate fingerprint factor as addition to his / her secret.

Replicas

With ADUCID user is not limited to just one device. On the contrary he / she can have “unlimited” number of devices called replicas. Replicas are PEIG with different cyber id referring to the same person.

To create a replica, the user needs another PEIG. Then he / she starts replica process (from application). Using a device with a camera it’s very simple – user just scans QR code display on one device using another.
