FIPSlink TWIC® Card Enrollment and TWIC® Device Management Software Platform

  • Supports Alternate Credential Model
    • Use your TWIC OR existing PACS cards such as Prox, iClass and MiFare at points of identification

Description

FIPSlink by Identity One is a complete solution for FIPS 201 TWIC Final Rule compliance, leveraging your existing physical access control system (PACS) investments with a software platform for TWIC card enrollment, validation and TWIC device management.

FIPSlink leverages your existing PACS software for cardholder and device registration. Enroll and validate your TWIC cardholders via the easy-to-use FIPSlink software and then manage their records and access assignments via the PACS software you already know and trust.

FIPSlink uses IDEMIA (formerly Morpho) Sigma fingerprint readers ensuring world class performance. IDEMIA fingerprint biometric technology is ranked #1 by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST). The IDEMIA Sigma range includes support for Wiegand, OSDP, Prox Card, iClass Card, Mifare Classic Card and MiFare DesFire Card.

FIPSlink software eliminates the complexity of managing the public-key infrastructure (PKI) requirements needed for TWIC compliance. FIPSlink automatically manages trusted certificate path discovery and validation using industry standards (certificate revocation lists, OCSP) to ensure that your cardholder’s credentials are validated both during initial enrollment and ongoing for day-to-day use. FIPSlink automatically downloads and maintains the TWIC canceled card list (CCL) to ensure that canceled credentials are automatically disabled, preventing access to secure locations.

Compared to a HID pivCLASS based solution, Identity One FIPSlink is a more cost-effective and operationally efficient solution for TWIC® FIPS 201 compliance.
