The accoca.exe process is the software application for ActivIdentity, a security and identification tool for both business and government clients. The accoca.exe process, or more commonly called the CAC card (Common Access Card), is a normal part of computer operations. The CAC, a smart card, is about the same size as a credit card. CAC is the standard ID for military personnel, U.S. Department of Defense or DoD, regular civilian employees, as well as contractor personnel. CAC is also the identification card in the Third Geneva Conventions. The front side of the CAC card has the following: • The phrase “U.S. Department of Defense” that is repeatedly printed across the card. • Owner’s photo on the upper left corner with the name under it. On the upper right corner is the card expiration date. • (If applicable) Owner's pay rate, rank or federal identifier • A two-dimensional barcode on the lower left corner, and a circuit chip (ICC) near the lower-middle part of the card. • Color code schemes: blue bar across owner's name if non-U.S. citizen; green bar if contractor. The back of the CAC card is the owner’s ghost image: • Birth date, blood type, benefits number, GC category and ID number (Geneva Convention's number). • Code 39 barcode, magnetic strip on the upper and lower portion of the card, EDIPI number barcode. This number stays with the owner while active in the service. The CAC card is fully laminated on the front. The back is laminated only in the bottom part to avoid interfering with the magnetic stripes. The card is resistant to tampering and identity fraud, counterfeiting and exploitation. It provides electronic means to rapid authentication.
