VPS ID Systeme: card management for Humboldt University. VPS ID Systeme has announced that Humboldt University in Berlin has chosen its web-based card management system, IDExpert CMS, to manage all of the university’s smart ID credentials.

Today, many students and staff use smart cards as indispensable „admission tickets“. These PKI-enabled smart cards give them access to the university’s IT network, and allow them to digitally sign and encrypt e-mails and documents. Access to certain rooms and permissions to use printers are also managed via the smart student card.

The system has been in operation at Humboldt University since March 2007 and is used to control the production of the ID cards and to manage them throughout their life
