Probaris Wins FIPS-201 Credentialing Contract With Patent and Trademark Office for HSPD-12 Compliance
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) PHILADELPHIA, PA, June 4 / MARKET WIRE/ --
The United States Patent and Trademark
Office (USPTO), a federal agency under the Department of Commerce, has
awarded a contract to Probaris in support of the agency's efforts to comply
with Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12). Probaris is a
leader in the identity management software and solutions market. HSPD-12 is
a presidential directive, published in August 2004, mandating a common
identification standard for all federal government employees and
contractors.
Probaris will install Probaris ID, the complete end-to-end secure identity
solution, to produce smart identity credentials for USPTO personnel. The
USPTO will use the credentials for physical and logical access control
within their enterprise architecture. As all federal agencies move towards
compliance with the FIPS-201 standard, USPTO credentials will have the
ability to interoperate with other federal agencies' access systems.
Probaris ID produces personal identity verification (PIV) credentials in
compliance with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
Federal Information Processing 201 (FIPS-201) requirements of HSPD-12.
Probaris ID includes NIST and GSA certified components delivered as a
turnkey identity solution for enrollment and card issuance. Probaris ID
incorporates best-in-class technology from leaders in the identity
management industry, including: ActivIdentity, Aware, and Crossmatch.
Under the terms of the contract, Probaris will deliver:
-- Identity proofing and vetting, and document authentication software to
prevent fraud and duplicate registrations;
-- Secure workflow software to provide role separation and a chain of
trust during the credential lifecycle;
-- Software to provide multi-biometric identification enrollment and
management of facial images, live scan fingerprints, and fingerprint
minutia;
-- Card management system software and integration components for
interfaces to public key infrastructure to manage the credentials; and,
-- Professional services to analyze business rules and integration of
logical and physical security system components.
Jim Bensman, CEO of Probaris, Inc., said, "This award represents the
continued acceptance of our core product line and builds on the work we
have done with the Social Security Administration, the Department of
Homeland Security, the Department of Interior and the General Services
Administration in the area of identity management. We look forward to
continued success with providing flexible identity management solutions to
