Universal authentication app developed for logistics
The Hamburg-based software provider DAKOSY has developed a new universal authentication app for logistics called ImpalaID. The system is equally accessible to all companies and institutions and helps users with barrier-free and secure legitimization via a secured QR code. The pilot phase is now being launched in the Port of Hamburg. The first participants are the empty container depot Hamburger Container Service (HCS) as well as the Veterinary Office Border Control. Source: Port of Hamburg “The new ImpalaID app fills a significant gap for secure and uniform authentication at an assortment of logistic hubs, for example at barriers or gate systems in the port area,” explains Nicolai Port, head of the intermodal transport solutions department at DAKOSY. In the future, trucking companies will have the option to register with various parties such as terminals, deport or slot booking processes, all from a single app. Technologically speaking, ImpalaID is a central Identity Provider System (IDP-System) for logistics. This means that users (for example, truckers) can store a central ID in the IDP system, which they can then use with a range of IDP services (terminals, apps, online platforms) to register and authenticate themselves. The initial registration takes place online. Varying levels
