GSA Approves ImageWare Systems for HSPD-12
(Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
ImageWare Systems, a developer of identity management solutions,
announced that the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has
approved the company's secure credential software on the approved
product listing (APL) as part of the GSA's FIPS 201 Evaluation Program
(GSA FIPS 201 APL).
"Gaining GSA approval enables us to further supply products to our
customers, systems integrators and solution partners seeking to achieve
compliance with FIPS 201," said Jim Miller, ImageWare's chairman and
CEO. "ImageWare offers various products addressing specific functional
requirements, from biometric image capture, biometric identification
and verification, to printing and encoding of smart card-based identity
credentials. We are pleased with this progress and look forward to
gaining additional product placement on the GSA APL."
ImageWare's IWS EPI Builder is certified for the Facial Image Capture
Camera category which meets all the requirements for systems conducting
facial image capture under the HSPD-12 program. The cameras approved to
date include the Canon PowerShot A520, A640, G5, G6, and G7 with
additional next generation cameras to be approved as they become
available.
ImageWare previously received approval by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) for its PIV Middleware product, which
led to approval and placement of this product on the GSA APL. ImageWare
now offers PIV Middleware compliant software with additional
functionality including IWS Desktop Security which is a
multi-credential compliant (PIV/TWIC/CAC and others) Logical Access
Control System, as well as the foundation of a biometrically enabled
Single-Sign-On solution. ImageWare is submitting IWS Desktop Security
and anticipates it becoming an additional entry in the PIV Middleware
category.
Miller added, "ImageWare remains committed to supplying a complete
HSPD-12 solution. We will continue to execute on the requirements for
GSA certification specifically around our core products including the
IWS Biometric Engine for biometric enrollment (template generation) and
verification (template matcher), and the IWS EPI Card Management System
for the management of the smart card lifecycle."
