ISC First Day: TWIC Isn’t a Candy Bar; Packages Get Screened
Homeland security remains strong and visible at ISC West. One example is the Transportation Worker Identification Card program and another is package screening for corporations.
An example, L-1 Identity Solutions is showing its TWIC-Station, a new access control device capable of reading a wide range of secure government credentials based on the FIPS 201 standard including TWIC, PIV and CAC endpoint cards. The device also offers single or multi-factor authentication control with support for PIN codes and is a fixed access TWIC readers capable of matching the fingerprint of a PIV cardholder to the biometric stored on the card.
