In addition, each card instance can be personalized and managed using Global Platform management utilities. Who does an Issuing Entity Distribute Credentials Too?An issuing entity can distribute their credentials to any mobile application that has been approved and has been developed using the SimplyTapp Mobile SDK.
AuthenticationSimplyTapp authentication is driven by OAuth 1.0a, and in this case the issuer is a consumer of user information that relates to a mobile application. So, in the case a card credential instance is created through the OAuth process, the issuer will ultimately receive an access token and token secret for each card credential instance that is issued to a user. This access token and token secret can be used to manage the issued card credential throughout its lifecycle. Utilities like STBridge are great tools for this credential management because they use Global Platform functionality. Step by StepTo get started as a card issuer follow the steps below. Step 1 - Add the Issuer Functionality to your Developer Profile. To add the issuer functionality to your developer account click here:https://www.simplytapp.com/accounts/SignUpIssuer.
