Home → Policies & Security → NetBadge → What is Enhanced NetBadge?
A NetBadge is an electronic identification "badge" that is issued to your Web browser when you log into the NetBadge service. NetBadge verifies your identity as a valid user of the Web resource you are trying to access, using your University computing ID and password credentials.
"Enhanced" NetBadge is a higher-security edition of NetBadge that will look slightly different from the "original" NetBadge and increase protection of your sensitive personal data (i.e. no longer use SSN). To use "Enhanced" NetBadge requires verification of identity through a process known as Identity Verification.
