Bioscrypt PIV-Station™



Addressing U.S. federal government security requirements.


Increase security at federal buildings by adding a biometric layer of authentication – a unique identification factor that cannot be lost, copied or stolen.

U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard 201 (FIPS 201) requires all government agencies to authenticate employees, contractors, and civil servants using stronger authentication methods, including fingerprint biometrics, for access control. Nearly 3 million federal employees, 6 million state employees and 500,000 contractors will be enrolled in the program, making it one of the largest biometric projects to date, according to IMS research.

The Bioscrypt PIV-Station helps U.S. federal organizations meet the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) requirements mandated by the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12), by bringing our long-standing expertise in the biometric access control market to the FIPS 201 program.
