ePass: A Secure Electronic Pass with Secure Credentials


From its beginning, the printed barcode has grown over the years. With the evolution of technology, it is no longer the prerogative of only the grocery industry, which had set the ball rolling for the barcode enabling it to identify and keep track of goods and people.

With the arrival of smartphones on the scene, ePass has invented an automatically changing barcode algorithm to do the same job. The difference is that this technology helps users to receive all their credentials and passes directly on their smartphones or ePass dedicated devices regardless of where they are.

The free ePass app requires users to register once and can then subsequently be reprogrammed to be used at different events. Organizers of the events send the event eCredentials directly to the user's device. The organizers can change any piece of information about the event.

As the Security Code is constantly changing, it eliminates unauthorized access, thus enhancing the security of the device to a level never created before

When the barcode stops changing, it means that the user has been authenticated. Once the authentication has been secured then the barcode starts changing again. Entry is automatic as the credentials are scanned wirelessly.

Event organizers hand out ePass display straps and clip on rubber cases to the users. The battery backup is built into these smartphone strap cases and can be recharged with the same chargers used to charge the smartphones.

Emergency text messages can be sent to individual user directly or to a group at the same time Dedicated ePass devices have a print option. When the print button is depressed, wireless signals are sent to a local recognized printer.

This secure changing barcode can be used in banks, airlines, movies, on cars and much more. This new free app now Available at the Apple iTunes, Android (News - Alert) and Amazon App Stores helps to prevent counterfeiting, fraud and duplication.
