PRINCETON JUNCTION, NJ -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/25/08 -- Discussing and demonstrating the
issuance, personalization and use of dual-interface FIPS 201 Personal
Identity Verification (PIV) cards is the focus of the Smart Card Alliance's
presence at ISC West, April 2nd - 4th at the Sands Expo and Convention
Center in Las Vegas.
"The past three years have been years of tremendous change for the federal
government, in terms of moving to a common credential -- the PIV card --
for both physical access control and information security," said Randy
Vanderhoof, executive director of the Smart Card Alliance. "The Alliance
Physical Access Council is providing extensive resources, including
multiple demonstrations, at ISC West that can guide attendees through their
own FIPS 201 implementations."
Smart Card Alliance booth #26148 will feature "FIPS 201 - Coming to Life,"
an end-to-end dual-interface FIPS 201 PIV card demonstration. Featuring
products and services from Smart Card Alliance members, the demonstration
highlights PIV card interoperability and includes:
-- SI Interational, demonstrating the integrated FIPS 201 process for
enrolling, issuing, personalizing and authenticating PIV cards.
-- ActivIdentity, demonstrating PIV card management and use with logical
access applications.
-- Hirsch Electronics, demonstrating PIV card access registration,
enrollment, and use in physical access control systems.
-- Tyco, demonstrating physical access control system use with a multi-
technology reader, reading both the PIV card and legacy proximity card
technologies.
-- CoreStreet, demonstrating secure mobile authentication and validation
for PIV cards and PIV card use for physical access.
In addition, members of the Smart Card Alliance Physical Access Council are
participating in a panel, "HSPD-12 Physical Security Migration Strategy,"
on Wednesday, April 2nd from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. Physical Access Council
presenters are Roger Roehr, Tyco Fire and Security; Bob Gilson, Defense
Manpower Data Center; and Lars Suneborn, Hirsch Electronics Corporation.
Over 25 Smart Card Alliance members are exhibiting at ISC West,
