Learn how private verified access works
This is the Always Encrypted learning hub. It holds three short written guides and links to the six explainer films. The guides cover exposure and countermeasures, how a sealed credential opens a door, and how the four threat-level routes and the operating procedure work.
Written guides
- Exposure levels and countermeasuresWhat a high, elevated and moderate exposure level means on the map, which lenses create it, and the countermeasures that apply between the car and the door.
- How a sealed credential opens a doorFollow one door from challenge to release: what the credential holds, what the building asks, why it learns only yes or no, and how a lost device is revoked.
- Four threat-level routes and the operating procedureEvery trip returns four routes ranked by exposure, from Lowest to Highest threat, and a six-section operating procedure you can print. Here is how to read them.
