HID Global demonstrated its PKI at the door solution that leverages existing physical access control infrastructures at the Smart Card Alliance Government Conference. The solution replaces intermediary pieces of an access control system to enable the higher-security transaction, says Nathan Cummings, director of integration and application for OEM channels at HID.
One piece that must be replaced is the card reader, Cummings says. HID’s iCLASS SE readers are used with the new system along with the PIV Class authentication modules.
With the new system one change for the user is functionality. HID’s prox and iCLASS cards typically have a transaction time of around 200 milliseconds. But with the standardized technology for a PKI at the door transaction it can take 2.5 seconds, Cumming says. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/secureidnews-4.gif)
