Access. Identity. Orchestrated.
Safetrust delivers interoperable physical and mobile credentials built on the CSA Aliro standard, connecting physical access, mobile identity, and enterprise PKI in one modern, identity-first platform. Move beyond proprietary hardware-bound systems to modern, certificate-based identity orchestration. Enable frictionless mobile access, align with Zero Trust, and give your security and IAM teams unified control across people, places, and systems.
The Shift to Open Identity Architectures
Physical access is evolving from fragmented, proprietary hardware systems to open, certificate-based identity orchestration, seamlessly aligned with enterprise IAM, Zero Trust principles, and the way modern organizations actually work.
This transition delivers measurable outcomes: reduced vendor lock-in, faster credential lifecycle management, stronger cryptographic security, and the ability to scale secure access across multi-tenant campuses and global supply chains without rip-and-replace projects.

The Future Of Access
Why Aliro Is The Solution
Legacy Credentials Are a Security Liability
Proprietary technologies rely on shared secrets and hardware-bound encoding with no mutual authentication. Aliro replaces this with certificate-based cryptographic authentication. Both credential and reader verify each other before any identity exchange. No shared secrets. No implicit trust.
Your Phone Is Already Your Most Secure Credential
Aliro supports NFC, BLE, and UWB for tap-based, hands-free, and proximity-aware access. The Safetrust Business Wallet consolidates Aliro and legacy credentials into one seamless experience. No new apps required. Works in Apple, Samsung, and Google Wallet. Employees and contractors move confidently with the device they already carry, creating the seamless, secure experience people expect today.
Provision, Update, and Revoke Without Leaving Your Desk
Certificate-based identity means changes happen over the air. Physical cards can be programmed by tapping a phone. Full lifecycle management (issuance, renewal, revocation, reader provisioning) is handled centrally in the Safetrust Credential Manager. Future-proof your infrastructure today so you’re not forced into costly hardware refreshes when quantum threats materialize.
Crypto Agility Built In From Day One
Because Aliro operates at the protocol layer, it supports the evolution of cryptographic algorithms over time, without requiring hardware replacement. Safetrust is already building detection and fallback mechanisms aligned with emerging FIPS 203 and FIPS 204 post-quantum standards. The result: an access control infrastructure that can adapt as the threat landscape changes, not one that has to be ripped and replaced.
Each Tenant Controls Their Own Identity
Aliro creates a clean separation between infrastructure ownership and identity management. Building operators control shared access points; tenants maintain their own certificate authority and issue credentials directly. No re-badging. Trust is cryptographically enforced. Landlords maintain control of shared infrastructure while tenants retain full autonomy over their identity, dramatically reducing administrative burden and re-badging costs.
Aliro and the Future of Enterprise Identity White Paper
Aliro introduces a standardized, interoperable framework for credential issuance, authentication, and communication, built on open protocols and certificate-based trust. Developed under the Connectivity Standards Alliance, it replaces proprietary hardware-bound systems with modern identity orchestration that aligns physical access with enterprise PKI, IAM, and Zero Trust principles.Enterprises gain frictionless mobile credentials, hands-free access, cryptographic agility (including post-quantum readiness), and true multi-vendor interoperability. All while maintaining seamless coexistence with legacy systems through dual-technology readers and hybrid cards. No rip-and-replace required.

Common Questions
Aliro is the open industry standard for access credentials and reader communication developed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA). It allows credentials issued by one organization to work across any Aliro-compatible device, regardless of vendor. This replaces proprietary, siloed systems with a unified, flexible, and scalable approach that integrates cleanly with enterprise IAM and Zero Trust architectures.
Traditional systems are closed and tied to specific hardware vendors, creating lock-in and long-term costs. Aliro is built on open protocols and digital certificates, so you can:
- Use multiple hardware and credential providers
- Avoid vendor dependency
- Manage identity the same way modern IT systems do — securely, scalably, and interoperably
Yes. Aliro supports a single credential across multiple formats, including mobile wallets (Apple, Samsung, Google, and Safetrust), wearables, and physical cards. This lets you choose what works best for your organization.
Aliro uses certificate-based authentication, the same model used in enterprise cybersecurity. This delivers strong cryptographic verification, mutual authentication between credential and reader, alignment with Zero Trust principles, and seamless integration with enterprise PKI and IAM systems. Some implementations also support FIDO2 for physical-to-logical access convergence.
No. Aliro is designed for gradual adoption. Use dual-technology readers, introduce mobile credentials alongside existing cards, and transition users and locations over time — all without a full rip-and-replace.
Safetrust is building momentum in the open Aliro ecosystem through partnerships that deliver real supply-chain confidence for enterprise deployments.
