The subject allows individuals affiliated with the University of California, Irvine (UCI) to gain entry to specific resources through their mobile devices. This typically involves a procedure where users confirm their identity and link their device to their UCI account. As an example, students might employ this system to access campus buildings or utilize specific university services using a smartphone instead of a physical ID card.
The implementation of such a system offers enhanced security and convenience for the UCI community. It reduces the reliance on easily lost or stolen physical cards, and allows for more granular control over access permissions. Historically, universities relied heavily on physical credentials; the move towards mobile access represents a shift towards more secure and efficient technologies, improving the overall user experience and potentially reducing administrative costs associated with managing physical access cards.
