HID pivCLASS 924NPR

HID Global's pivCLASS® Government Solutions portfolio makes it possible for facilities to upgrade their existing physical access control system (PACS) to achieve FIPS 201 compliance

HID pivCLASS 924NPR Fingerprint Reader Overview

The pivCLASS Biometric Reader (RKCLB40) delivers the "Exclusion" assurance level defined in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP 800-116 guidelines. This reader works with the pivCLASS Authentication Module (PAM) to perform three authentication checks: PIV + PIN + BIO.

Features

PIV: The pivCLASS system first determines the validity of the PIV card and its certificates using public key cryptography-based authentication. For instance, the system verifies the digital signature and performs path validation on the PIV authentication certificate and the biometric template data object.

PIN: As part of the PIV verification process, the cardholder must enter a PIN to unlock the card in order to retrieve the PIV certificate and biometric template

BIO: After the card and its contents have been validated, the pivCLASS system compares the reference biometric template stored on the card with the biometric sample from the live finger.

If successful, three factors of authentication have been achieved. Only then will the pivCLASS system pass the appropriate cardholder ID data to the PACS controller for an access decision. This three-factor authentication protects against cards that have been revoked, counterfeited, altered, copied, cloned, lost, stolen or shared.

Benefits

- Architected for maximum security and affordability, the reader utilizes the pivCLASS Authentication Module to provide cryptographic functionality and to pass Wiegand-formatted data to the PACS controller. Locating the critical security operations within the secure perimeter (rather than on the attack side of the door) increases security and reader affordability.
- Up to two pivCLASS readers can connect to a pivCLASS Authentication Module via four-wire RS-485 communication to the reader, typically enabling facilities to reuse much of their existing wiring.
- Mountable on single- and double-gang boxes with a width of roughly a double gang device.
- Available with either a pigtail or terminal strip wiring termination.
- Supports CHUID, CAK, PKI + PIN and PIV + PIN + BIO authentication modes, which can be dynamically changed from a central location.
