NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- EyeLock LLC,
the leader of iris-based identity authentication solutions,
announced today that its award-winning software, EyeLock Identity
Suite (EIS), now includes a Personal Identity Verification (PIV)
credential format which is primarily used by the U.S. Federal
Government to access federally-controlled facilities and
information systems at the appropriate security level.
EyeLock was contacted by a U.S. Federal Government agency in
August to design, engineer and embed its 200-bit PIV card format
into the EyeLock Identity Suite (EIS) software.
A PIV credential is a typical government-issued access card that
also contains at least one security feature that aids in reducing
counterfeiting, is resistant to tampering, and provides visual
evidence of tampering attempts such as optical varying structures
or inks, laser etching, holographic images, and watermarks.
PIV credentials feature certificates and key pairs, pin numbers,
biometrics such as iris, fingerprint and facial images, as well as
other unique identifiers. When incorporated into a PIV credential,
it provides the capability to implement multi-factor authentication
for networks, applications and buildings. A typical access card
commonly includes 26 bits of data and as much as 40 bits. A typical
PIV credential supports a minimum of 200 bits and is now available
to various government agencies.
"With our support of the U.S. Federal Government's standard PIV
card format, we now have the right platform and tools in place to
meet Federal Government requirements. More agencies have expressed
interest as well, and we are focused on expanding our business
within this channel," said Jeff
Carter, CEO of EyeLock.
