Web, email & VPN with CAC/PIV for Mac
PKard® for Mac replaces the native macOS PKI solution to provide users with a solid product with full, free, U.S. based support. It is the same commercial code used by the Pentagon, all six DoD services, White House, NIH, and DOI across tens of thousands of Mac users since the mid-2000s. The U.S. engineered PKard for Mac meets the needs of U.S. DoD and Federal Mac users for simple and straightforward two-factor authenticated CAC, CAC Dual Persona, PIV, and PIV-I smart card access to secure websites, web VPN, and secure S/MIME Apple email signing and encryption. U.S. phone and email technical support is included. Card reader hardware and smart card ID are not included.
