February 23, 2024 – From the desk of David Smith.

Federal Government departments and US armed forces can now upgrade high volume entries and doors to face PIV readers to complement their existing fingerprint PIV readers without having to rip and replace existing PIV readers.

Veridt recently announced their new STEALTH BIO – Q Face Biometric PIV Reader. FIPS 201-3 redefined a valid Biometric to include the JPEG/JPEG2000 Facial image and ANSI378 fingerprint on the PIV card as biometric templates for biometric matching at registration and time of access decisions. Veridt STEALTH BIO – Q is the first and only Face Biometric PIV reader and it will soon be FICAM certified.

FIPSlink 2024.1 fully integrates Veridt’s new STEALTH BIO – Q Face Biometric PIV reader. All FICAM modes such as CAK authentication, PIN + PIV authentication and Pin + Face Biometric + PIV Authentication are fully supported. FIPSlink is the first and only registration and validation system with support for the Veridt STEALTH BIO – Q.

About Veridt

Over twenty years ago Veridt was developing biometric based readers using a 250-byte fingerprint template contained in a two-dimensional barcode on a card. Reader developments continued in parallel with the evolution of smart card technology, in the early days of DoD CAC at DMDC, pre-TWIC with the Florida Uniform Port Access Credential (FUPAC) mandated by State for the Florida ports and the TWIC initiative by TSA & Coast Guard regulated under MTSA.

Today, Veridt’s engineering & support lab features 16 fully operational PACS solutions for 9 PACS manufacturers providing comprehensive partner and customer support for FICAM and related use cases. PACS Systems include Software House, Lenel, Honeywell, Identiv-Freedom, Identiv-Velocity, AMAG, Gallagher, Galaxy, Genetec and P-2000, operating in concert with a variety of high assurance validation services, including HID pivCLASS, Technology Industries Entrypoint & Identity One FIPSlink.
