US built PKard® Browser supports strong two factor CAC/PIV secure web site access from an Android tablet or smartphone. Instead of a username and password, PKard Browser uses US Government CAC or PIV smart cards and PINs with authentication to an industry-standard micro USB card reader accessory.
Web, web email, portal and collaboration site access are supported, including Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) and SharePoint, for example, U.S. Military AKO, NKO and AF Portals.
The browser works with the US built PKard® authentication agent background service, smoothly coordinating reader and card access to an optional secure Android app ecosystem.
This app requires some basic permissions, here's why:
Internet: its a web browser, so we need to use networking
Read Phone State: required to validate the license, we use this solely to get a unique device ID
