Description
HID Global’s pivCLASS readers deliver unmatched value for facility security while ensuring compliance with FIPS 201 standards. The product range features a diverse array of contactless, dual-interface, and biometric readers. These readers are engineered to function seamlessly with the pivCLASS Authentication Module (PAM), aligning with the assurance level criteria set forth in NIST Special Publication 800-116 and the federal FICAM E-PACS guidelines. Many pivCLASS readers can operate in both Wiegand and PAM modes. The Wiegand mode facilitates deployments without a PAM, supporting a gradual transition toward FIPS 201 compliance. Transitioning from Wiegand mode to PAM mode is easily achievable in the field by reconfiguring the reader’s firmware.
