Brivo Mobile Pass

Brivo Mobile Pass is a mobile application that transforms your smartphone into a secure access credential. It is designed for businesses and residential communities using the Brivo Access cloud-based system. The Brivo Mobile Pass app eliminates the need for physical keys and access cards by providing a digital pass on your device. Users simply present their phone to a compatible reader to gain entry to secured doors and gates. This solution from Brivo Mobile Pass enhances both security and convenience for modern access control.

Mobile-Based Door Unlocking with a Tap

The primary function of Brivo Mobile Pass is to grant physical access. Users open the application and present their smartphone to a Brivo-enabled reader. The phone communicates with the reader using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, authenticating the user's credentials. A successful authentication instantly unlocks the door, allowing entry. This process replaces traditional keycards and fobs, centralizing access on a device you always carry. The entire experience with Brivo Mobile Pass is designed for speed and simplicity at the point of entry.

Receiving and Managing Digital Credentials

Access begins when an administrator issues a credential. The user receives an email invitation containing a link to their unique Brivo Mobile Pass. Tapping this link directs them to download the app if necessary and automatically adds the digital credential to their wallet within the application. Users can view their active passes and see which doors they grant access to. This streamlined onboarding process ensures that Brivo Mobile Pass credentials are deployed quickly without the logistical hassle of distributing physical plastic cards.

Offline Access Capability

A critical feature of Brivo Mobile Pass is its reliability, even without an internet connection. The digital credentials are stored directly on the user’s mobile device. When a user approaches a reader, the authentication occurs locally between the phone and the reader via BLE. This means that a loss of cellular data or Wi-Fi signal does not prevent door entry. The Brivo Mobile Pass system is engineered to ensure uninterrupted access, which is vital for daily operations in any building.

Enhanced Security with Dynamic Encryption

Security is paramount, and Brivo Mobile Pass employs dynamic encryption for each access event. Unlike a static card number, the app generates a new, cryptographically secure code every time it is used. This prevents credential cloning and replay attacks, significantly bolstering security. If a user’s phone is lost or stolen, an administrator can instantly revoke that specific Brivo Mobile Pass credential from the web dashboard, rendering it useless immediately. This dynamic security model is a core advantage of the Brivo Mobile Pass platform.

Administrator-Driven Access Scheduling

Access is not just about location but also time. Administrators using the Brivo ecosystem can define precise schedules for each Brivo Mobile Pass credential. This means a user's digital pass can be configured to only work during specific days of the week or hours of the day, such as a 9-to-5 work schedule. Outside of these authorized times, the Brivo Mobile Pass will not unlock the door. This provides fine-grained control over when and where individuals can enter, enhancing overall security protocols.

Audit Trail and Access History Logging

Every use of a Brivo Mobile Pass is recorded in a detailed audit trail. The Brivo cloud platform logs the timestamp, door location, and the identity of the user for every access event, whether granted or denied. Administrators can review this history to monitor building traffic, investigate security incidents, or generate reports. For the user, the Brivo Mobile Pass app itself can provide a personal history of their recent access events, adding a layer of transparency and accountability to the system.
