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 in Las Vegas on April 2-4. “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. Over 25 Smart Card Alliance members are exhibiting at ISC West, demonstrating a full range of products to implement smart card-based physical and logical access systems. The Physical Access Council will also hold an in-person meeting at the event.
