Datastrip partners with Codebench for PIV verification

Friday, April 4, 2008

Datastrip Inc., Exton, Pa., has partnered with Codebench Inc. to verify PIV, TWIC and FRAC identification cards as well as enroll cardholders into physical access control system at government and military facilities. Datastrip will integrate CodeBench’s software into its Datastrip’s DSV2+TURBO handheld.

PIVCheck Mobile, the software from Boca Raton, Fla.-based Codebench, provides a solution with Ethernet, WiFI and optional GSM connectivity for cardholder validation of PIN, fingerprint biometric and certificates. It validates certificates by performing Internet-based queries from the DSV2+TURBO to compare them to an OCSP Responder, Certificate Authority or TSA Hot Lists.

PIVCheck Plus Mobile offers the same features and adds the ability for automated enrollment into compatible physical access control systems. Once an ID card is verified, software transmits the card’s data wirelessly from the DSV2+TURBO to the access control system. Also available is PIVCheck Certificate Manager that revalidates the imported card certificates. This tool revalidates certificates on a periodic basis to ensure continued validity and can automatically suspend a PACS badge associated with a revoked certificate. [end]

This marks the first integration of PIVCheck Plus software with a physical and virtual network appliance access control platform. RedCloud Virtual is a VMware Ready access control solution purpose-built for organizations that have migrated their IT infrastructure to a secure, private cloud environment.
