In partnership with Zwipe, Civix is expanding its Aviation\nSecure Credentials (ASC) suite of solutions with a biometric smart card for\naccess control. The ASC Access Cards use built-in fingerprint sensors to check\nthe legitimacy of cardholders at points of entry. The cards are fully compatible\nwith traditional NFC card readers, so airports can use them to implement\ntwo-factor authentication without upgrading the existing hardware. The solution\nis also contactless, a priority for high-traffic facilities, like airports, in\nlight of COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We’re excited to continue expanding on our end-to-end\nsuite of security solutions for airport secure credentials with the addition of\nASC Access cards,” said Tim Walsh, President of Civix Airports, a trusted\npartner to the FAA, state aeronautics departments, and over 100 airports\nworldwide. “The icing on the cake is that ASC Access cards work with\nexisting hardware, meaning airports save costs and avoid holdups associated\nwith complicated implementation and supply chain delays.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ASC Access cards work by giving each user a card containing\ntheir unique fingerprint data in a secure chip. When placed near a reader, the\ncard compares the fingerprint of the person holding the card with the\nfingerprint data stored on the card. If they are a match, the card generates an\naccess code and directs the control infrastructure to grant access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Basically, the person assigned to the card must be\nholding it in order to get access. It’s a simple way for airports to improve\nsecurity,” Walsh explained. The authentication process is self-contained\nwithin the card, so biometric data is not transmitted, and separate biometric\nreader hardware is not required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This is a heightened level of security that is\nincredibly fast, easy, and affordable to implement,” said Robert Puskaric,\nPresident & CEO of Zwipe. “Civix is a highly reputed system integrator\nand solution provider to the airport industry, and we are proud to include our\nbiometric smart card technology to its suite of solutions improving airport\nsecurity.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Civix ASC Access cards can be used with any access control\nsystem or as part of Civix’s suite of ASC solutions, which includes IDMS\nsoftware, a self-service badging kiosk, and Aviation Channeling Data Management\nSystem formerly known as Designated Aviation Channeling (DAC) services to\nfacilitate the fast, seamless communication of biographic and biometric data\nsecurely from aviation badging entities to the federal government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We know airports and the challenges they face, that’s\nwhy we’re especially proud to offer affordable solutions that eliminate\nfriction throughout entire credentialing process, from self-service badging to\nautomated background checks to access control,” said Walsh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
