HID Global, the US identity product firm, is to supply Eid Passport with its ActivID Credential Management System (CMS) for Eid Passport’s new Personal Identity Verification – Interoperable (PIV-I) managed service.
Eid Passport’s service is targeted at commercial, government and the US military for securing physical and logical assets. Recently, the US Navy awarded a contract to provide ID for the Navy Commercial Access Control System (NCACS) its contractors, vendors, suppliers and service providers who seek entry to naval facilities. To meet the needs of the US Navy and other customers for its PIV-I service, Eid Passport has worked with HID Advantage Partner Axiad IDS to integrate ActivID CMS for secure provisioning of the cards.
Eric Widlitz, managing director of Identity and Access Management, North America with HID Global, said: “We look forward to working with Eid Passport, which is a Level 4 PIV-I issuer – the highest level of identity assurance possible. With the integration of HID Global’s pivCLASS credentials and ActivID CMS with the Eid Passport’s RAPIDGate Premier solution, Eid Passport is able to ensure that third parties working at high-security government installations have been thoroughly screened, vetted and issued a PIV-I credential before they arrive on site.”
Provisioning the cards using HID Global’s ActivID CMS lets a user define and apply policies to manage data, applets, and digital certificates across the lifecycle of a card. ActivID CMS can be integrated into a security infrastructure, the US firms add, and can scale to millions of credentials with multiple user groups. Visit http://www.hidglobal.com.
