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/ 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.
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.
PEIG can run on mobile phones or tablets with Android 4.0 or iOS 8 . PEIG can be called in used in two ways:
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
To proof his/ her identity ADUCID provides a feature called personal factor. PF something only user know or has.
The most common PF is some kind of secret. User can define a picture sequence or number sequence.
On Android phone a user can use a NFC tag as his / her secret.
On iOS devices with fingerprint sensor (iPhone 5S or better) user can activate fingerprint factor as addition to his / her secret.
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.
