Description
HID Global’s pivCLASS readers deliver exceptional security value for facilities while ensuring compliance with FIPS 201 standards. This comprehensive range includes options such as contactless, combined contact and contactless, and biometric readers. These readers are engineered to integrate seamlessly with the pivCLASS Authentication Module (PAM), aligning with assurance level requirements outlined in NIST Special Publication 800-116 and the federal FICAM E-PACS guidelines. Many pivCLASS readers offer versatile deployment capabilities, functioning in either Wiegand or PAM mode. The Wiegand mode allows for phased deployment towards FIPS 201 compliance without the use of a PAM, while conversion to PAM mode can be easily achieved on-site by updating the reader firmware.
