Description
HID Global’s pivCLASS reader range includes a comprehensive selection of contactless, contact-plus-contactless, and biometric readers. These advanced readers are engineered to integrate seamlessly with the pivCLASS Authentication Module (PAM), ensuring they meet the stringent assurance level requirements outlined in NIST Special Publication 800-116 and the federal FICAM E-PACS guidelines. The versatile pivCLASS readers can be utilized in either Wiegand mode or PAM mode. Operating in Wiegand mode allows usage without a PAM, enabling a phased approach to transitioning towards FIPS 201 compliance. Transitioning from Wiegand to PAM mode can be efficiently conducted on-site by updating the reader firmware. These pivCLASS readers deliver exceptional value by enhancing facility security while ensuring compliance with FIPS 201 standards.
