Overview for the Key Status Tab
The Key Status tab shows the status of the Keys in your WWPass KeySet—PassKey and Service Keys. The tab also shows general information and internal technical information for your Keys:
- General Information identifies which Key in a KeySet is currently presented to your computer. It consists of:
- Key Type—This is either PassKey or Service Key.
- Key Name—This is the name you specified when you activated the Key in WWPass Key Services.
- Internal Technical Information might be needed for advanced troubleshooting if you contact the WWPass Service Desk. The same information is shown for Services Keys. It consists of:
- GetInfoStatus—This is a status code returned by the PassKey’s Smart Card. PassKeys use Smart Card technology for a number of WWPass solutions
- Smart Card ATR—This is the Smart Card ATR (Answer to Reset) output for a PassKey. ATR conveys information about communication parameters and state for a Smart Card following electrical reset of its chip by a Smart Card reader. The presence of an ATR is one indication that the card is operative. The ATR string identifies who made or issued a PassKey’s Smart Card.
