pivCLASS Validation Workstation - PIV Credential Verification
Overview
Specifications

HID’s pivCLASS Validation Workstation is an award-winning solution designed to assist security personnel in validating PIV, PIV-I, CIV, TWIC, FRAC, and CAC credentials and verifying cardholder identities.

Deployed on a PC or laptop, the Validation Workstation performs a three-step authentication process to help verify that the credential was issued to the person presenting it.

During this process, it executes the following;

  • Conducts cardholder PIN match-on-card
  • Generates a cryptographic challenge to the card, which helps to ensure the binding of the credentials to the card
  • Captures a live fingerprint image
  • Compares the resulting template with a signed template encoded on the card

In TWIC environments the pivCLASS Validation Workstation can be configured to verify that the cardholder's credential is not on the current TWIC Canceled Card List (CCL). The CCL can be imported, or can be accessed directly if the desktop has Internet connectivity.

For auditing, the credential validation session is logged to an encrypted, serialized data file. The contents of the file can be exported to a removable file system, such as a flash drive.
