ArcotID PKI is a software smartcard that your users can use to securely store their Open PKI keys and certificates. These keys are typically used for different applications or operations such as, email signing (S/MIME), document signing, and certificate-based authentication (open PKI).
Depending on the security settings defined by you (credential provider), your users will be allowed to access their certificates either by connecting to the network and authenticating to a network server (also known as online access) or your users will be allowed to access them after providing an offline password that gets verified locally (this is also known as offline access). Offline Access is typically required by travelling employees, remote workers, and field personnel.
The Arcot Offline Tool utility can be used to register the offline password for offline access. This utility is installed on users system as part of ArcotID PKI Native Client installation.
