Description
HID Global’s comprehensive range of pivCLASS readers features an array of contactless, dual-purpose contact plus contactless, and biometric options. These readers integrate seamlessly with the pivCLASS Authentication Module (PAM) to fulfill the assurance level requirements specified in NIST Special Publication 800-116 and the federal FICAM E-PACS guidelines. Designed for versatility, these readers can be implemented in either Wiegand or PAM mode. Wiegand mode facilitates deployment without a PAM, supporting a gradual transition towards FIPS 201 compliance. The transition from Wiegand to PAM mode is easily achievable in the field through reader firmware reconfiguration. The high-quality design and advanced features of pivCLASS readers provide exceptional value in facility security while ensuring organizations maintain FIPS 201 compliance.
