baiMobile® Credentials

The baiMobile® Credentials app is a background service that provides support for a variety of smartcard readers from various reader vendors. Credentials is leveraged by those applications that embed the baiMobile® Framework for Credential Services (a set of SDK libraries). For a list of Android apps that embed the baiMobile® Framework for Credential Services, please visit our website http://baiMobile.com or email us at sales@baimobile.com or sales@rimus-tech.com. Credentials must be installed and running in order for such apps to access the keys and digital certificates stored on a smartcard.
