FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

September 12th, 2016 - Vienna, Virginia - Alexandria, Virginia

Federal Customers Have a New, State-Of-The-Art Option To Secure And Validate HSPD-12 Identity Credentials For Physical And Logical Access.

Carillon Information Security® and Technology Industries are pleased to announce the availability of a fully FIPS-201 compliant IAM (Identity and Access Management) platform leveraging Carillon's Pathfinder® SCVP solution. SCVP (Server Based Certificate Verification Protocol) is an Internet standard protocol that allows agencies to centrally validate federal credentials, which is an essential security component of HSPD-12.

Pathfinder® SCVP services provides a scalable approach to manage the complexities of proper PD-Val (Path Discovery and Validation), especially when interoperating with large communities such as the U.S. Federal Bridge PKI. When combined with Technology Industries' proven EntryPoint access management platform, customers have a simple, inexpensive and PACS- agnostic solution for logical and physical applications.

This innovative approach solves the Federal agencies requirements to do PIV, CAC, PIV-I, CIV PD-Val in conformity with HSPD-12 without the need to rip and replace Physical Access and Control Systems (PACS) that are already deployed. Carillon's Pathfinder® SCVP solution is designed for high performance and is capable of returning an SCVP PKI validation response in less than 100 milliseconds.

"When we set out to build Pathfinder® SCVP, our goal was to provide a solution that was extremely fast while being simple to install and maintain", says Patrick Patterson, President of Carillon Information Security inc., "we realized that if a cardholder had to wait more than a second at the door for their credentials to validate our clients would end up with bad morning rush hours leading to bad user experience".

As for Technology Industries, "we saw a real opportunity to solve a big challenge for U.S. Federal Agencies- an ability to make a highly performant, real-time access decision based on thorough credential validation without having to replace their existing PACS infrastructure." says Eric Hildre from Technology Industries.
