Description
**pivCLASS Readers for Enhanced Security and Compliance in Controlled Environments**
– **Comprehensive Security Integration**: These readers are part of a unified access control solution from a reputable provider, ensuring adherence to FIPS 201 standards in line with NIST SP 800-116 and TWIC Reader specifications.
– **Field Upgradeable**: Designed to be reconfigurable on-site, these readers can be enhanced for greater security assurance by integrating contact or biometric “sidecar” modules.
– **Transitional Versatility**: These transitional readers facilitate the scanning of PIV, PIV-I, CAC, CIV, TWIC, FRAC, iCLASS®, and HID Prox® cards, enabling seamless migration from outdated technologies to advanced PKI-enabled smart cards.
– **Contactless Reader with Keypad**: For “Uncontrolled” security zones, these readers implement a “PIN to PACS” system using both legacy and FIPS-201 credentials.
HID Global’s pivCLASS Government Solutions empower facilities to modernize existing physical access control systems to meet FIPS 201 and FICAM standards efficiently, without necessitating a complete system overhaul. Models RK40 and RPK40 are engineered to accommodate diverse application requirements towards achieving comprehensive FICAM compliance.
As Transitional Readers, they operate autonomously, reading both legacy iCLASS and HID Prox cards along with FIPS 201-compliant cards, directly transmitting card identifiers to access panels. The integrated keypad enables input of user PINs directly into PACS panels. When combined with pivCLASS Registration Engine and Certification Manager software, this setup assures a gradual transition to full FICAM compliance, serving as an economical solution for “Uncontrolled” access points where full FICAM compliance is optional.
For FICAM compliance, the addition of a pivCLASS Authentication Module (PAM) is essential for providing single-factor strong authentication. This setup supports CHUID + VIS and card authentication key (CAK) modes as indicated in NIST SP 800-116.
Enhanced authentication with two factors is attainable by incorporating an HID pivCLASS contact reader sidecar, offering a contact card slot and an LCD for user instructions. This configuration supports CHUID + VIS and CAK authentication modes via both contactless and contact interfaces. It also facilitates PKI + PIN authentication with on-card PIN matching.
For three-factor strong authentication, the addition of the HID pivCLASS contact plus biometric reader sidecar introduces biometric recognition alongside a contact card slot. This setup supports CHUID + VIS and CAK through both interfaces, utilizing the contact interface for PKI + PIN with on-card PIN matching, and PKI + PIN + BIO authentication modes.
