GSA approves credential holder

Wednesday, September 8, 2010

EK Ekcessories’ electromagnetically opaque sleeve has received FIPS 201 approval from General Services Administration under the most recent test criteria.

The One Hander Card Holder protects personal information from unauthorized data skimming. The new holder features a similar design as a flip cell phone; the face of the protective clear case flips open to expose the ID or proximity card for scanning and in the closed position it has a protective shield to prevent unauthorized scanning of your ID card. [end]
