What is a Cardinal Key?

A Cardinal Key is a digital certificate installed on a device that replaces the need for a SUNet ID and password. This means being able to log in to Stanford systems such as Axess without having to log in.

Cardinal Key is optional for students. Students who wish to take advantage of Cardinal Key must make their devices encrypted and compliant.
