HID Global has expanded its pivCLASS Government Solutions portfolio focused on the federal identity market with the addition of the PIVCheck Plus software solution from Codebench, an HID Global company. The pivCLASS solution provides PIV and PKI functionality at the door for government agencies and contractors enabling them to comply with federal identity mandates. The company will showcase its complete portfolio of FIPS-201 compliant access control solutions at this year’s ISC West 2013 International Security Conference and Exposition from April 10-12 in Las Vegas.
The PIVCheck Plus software solution, now called pivCLASS Registration Engine and pivCLASS Certificate Manager, enables customers to harvest cardholder data and enroll the information into a variety of physical access control systems. The solution currently supports 30 different physical access control systems. The software offering joins HID Global’s pivCLASS Transitional Readers, pivCLASS Credentials and pivCLASS Authentication Module as the industry’s most complete solution for PKI at the door.
The pivCLASS Government Solutions portfolio includes:
- pivCLASS Transitional Readers: Contact, contactless and biometric readers for meeting any assurance level and the NIST SP 800-116 guidelines. These readers support nearly any card type — PIV, PIV-I, CIV, CAC, TWIC, iCLASS, HID Prox and more — and perform any required authentication mode, for example, CHUID, CAK, PIV + PIN, BIO. These readers can be used to phase in multifactor authentication at the door by reconfiguring them in the field rather than replacing them to support PKI based authentication.
- pivCLASS Credentials: A dual-interface PIV credential that offers secure storage and protection for the smart card’s passwords, digital identity credentials, cryptographic functions, personal information and computer access capabilities.
- pivCLASS Authentication Module: Enables physical access control system upgrades to FIPS 201 compliance by performing the FIPS 140-certified cryptographic functions the typical physical access control panel cannot perform. It is installed between a supported reader and the existing access control panel and provides configurable Wiegand output to the controller.
- pivCLASS Registration Engine and pivCLASS Certificate Manager: Software for validating PIV, PIV-I, CIV, TWIC, FRAC, and CAC credentials and verifying cardholder identities. The software can be deployed on a PC, laptop, or handheld terminal.
