Insert Smart Card Locally, Use Remotely

Secure Remote Access is a macOS application for accessing remote Macs securely using PIV compatible smart cards. Plug in a PIV compatible smart card to your Mac, then connect to a remote Mac using screen sharing. All authentication on the remote Mac is done over the network back to the local smart card.

Remote Smart Card Authentication for macOS

Secure Remote Access provides the software to make smart card authentication to remote Macs possible. From Screen Sharing to Login Window to System Preferences, all authentication is done on the locally inserted smart card. The remote Mac uses the virtual smart card just the same as a smart card inserted locally.

Passwordless Screen Sharing

Use your smart card to authenticate and start Screen Sharing, all without using a password. Secure Remote Access provides an easy, secure, and passwordless way to access a remote Mac.

Simple to Use, Manage, and Configure

Deploying Secure Remote Access is easy. Install the macOS package on any Mac and it can immediately be used to connect to a remote Mac running Secure Remote Access. On the remote Mac, configuration is as simple as running a single configuration command to prepare it for connection.

Secure

Using macOS FIPS 140-2/-3 crypto and FIPS 201-2 PIV compatible smart cards, Secure Remote Access is a secure way to provide remote access to Macs in your environment. All authentication uses the PIV compatible smart card plugged into the local Mac and works great in passwordless environments.
