ValidiKey Ring is a mechanical key management tool for CyberLock ValidiKey vaults. ValidiKey vaults securely store CyberKey smart keys until they are issued to authorized users via PIN or RFID credentials. ValidiKey Ring retains the CyberKey tip form factor, with an attached keyring for securing mechanical keys. At the vault, users input their credentials to check out their assigned mechanical keys. An audit trail event is recorded when the ValidiKey Ring is removed and returned.
