ReCRED is a European project (H2020 program) that aims to design and implement mechanisms that anchor all access control (AC) needs to mobile devices that users habitually use and carry. It aims to build integrated next generation access control (AC) solution that: i) solves the following problems that stem from the weaknesses of the current authentication methods, ii) is aligned with current technological trends and capabilities, iii) offers a unifying access control framework that is suitable for a multitude of use cases that involve online and physical authentication and authorization via an off-the-shelf mobile device and iv) is attainable and feasible to implement in the existing products under the scope and timeframe of the project.
