Seos® is a powerful and proven platform for managing secure identities on mobile devices. The platform is already used across hotels, enterprises, universities, and residential properties.

ASSA ABLOY intends to license the Seos technology to solution developers everywhere. Seos enables the development of interoperable, secure, and privacy-protecting mobile access solutions.

Mobile access solutions built on the Seos platform simplify life by eliminating the need for multiple physical credentials.

This powerful new platform will drive the development of a wide range of interoperable, secure, and privacy protecting mobile applications, enabling secure access to physical and virtual resources for enterprises, governments, and consumers around the world – and it accommodates any smart device.

Addressing the need for mobile access applications that are secure and protect privacy, Seos is already simplifying life for users across universities, enterprises, hotels, and residential properties.

By eliminating the need for multiple credentials, such as an access card or physical key, solutions built on the Seos platform are speeding everyday transactions such as hotel check-in, access to government services and access to personal residences.

“People around the globe rarely leave home without their mobile devices. To give them the ability to access everything from their home to their place of business, and everything in between, using one device, both securely and privately, is a convenience that Seos delivers on a grand scale,” said Denis Hébert, executive vice president of ASSA ABLOY and head of HID Global, an ASSA ABLOY business.

Seos, which can communicate over multiple interfaces, including NFC and Bluetooth, incorporates design features that allow any smart device, from phones to tablets to wearables, such as watches, to become a trusted credential. Applications built on the Seos platform do not reveal any unique identifiers to unauthorized readers, thereby protecting privacy.
