Description
**pivCLASS Readers for Secure Access: High Security, Interoperability, and Compliance**
– **Integrated Solutions by Trusted Security Providers** – Facilitates FIPS 201 compliance according to NIST SP 800-116 and TWIC Reader Specifications.
– **Field-Reconfigurable Access Control** – Upgradeable on-site to enhance security levels with the addition of contact or biometric authentication modules.
– **Transitional Technology** – Supports reading PIV, PIV-I, CAC, CIV, TWIC, FRAC, iCLASS®, and HID Prox® cards, facilitating smooth transitions from legacy systems to PKI-enabled smart cards.
– **Contactless Readers with Keypads for Regular Security Zones** – Implements a “PIN to PACS” method for both legacy and FIPS-201 credentials.
HID Global’s pivCLASS Government Solutions allow seamless upgrades to existing Physical Access Control Systems (PACS) for achieving FIPS 201 and FICAM compliance without needing to replace existing infrastructure. The RK40 and RPK40 models support diverse scenarios to ensure comprehensive FICAM compliance.
**Transitional Technology** – Standalone readers are capable of reading both legacy iCLASS and HID Prox cards as well as FIPS 201 compatible cards, transmitting card identifiers directly to access control panels. Keypads enable direct PIN entry to PACS panels. Combined with pivCLASS software, this setup ensures a cost-effective transition toward full FICAM compliance and is ideal for areas where basic access control is needed without full compliance requirements.
**FICAM Compliant Readers** – Achieves FICAM compliance by incorporating the pivCLASS Authentication Module (PAM) for single-factor strong authentication, supporting CHUID + VIS and CAK authentication modes as specified in NIST Special Publication 800-116.
Two-factor strong authentication is possible with the addition of the HID pivCLASS contact reader module, featuring a contact card reader and an LCD for messaging. This setup allows CHUID + VIS, CAK, and PKI + PIN authentication, utilizing match-on-card PIN verification.
Three-factor strong authentication includes the HID pivCLASS contact plus biometric reader module, which adds biometric verification capabilities. This configuration supports multiple authentication modes, including PKI + PIN + BIO, utilizing contact interfaces for secure verification.
