PLEASANTON, Calif., December 7, 2011 -- idOnDemand, the
pioneer in smart identification and a business unit of
Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE: Frankfurt: INV),
announces its Commercial Identity Verification (CIV)
credential offering. With the Identive SmartID card with
CIV, private enterprises can leverage the same technology
and data model that the Federal government uses to
establish a secure, reliable, electronically verifiable
identity program without the requirement for
cross-certification with the Federal Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) Bridge.
"Though new in concept, CIV is quickly being recognized for
the strong authentication that it offers the private sector
and its wide applicability based on proven, standards-based
technology," said Rob Zivney, VP Government & Standards for
Identive Group and a Smart Card Alliance Member. "Industry
made a significant investment in smart card research and
development for government sector identity applications.
That technology can now be used by enterprises in the
private sector without the burden of maintaining policy
requirements for background checks, interoperability, and
infrastructure. With CIV, the private sector now can
use the same government-grade smart card with inherent
cryptographic capabilities for strong authentication, and
leverage recognized specifications for compatibility as
they integrate the cards into their physical access or IT
infrastructure."
Many international or multi-site companies are looking for
a secure credential that allows their employees and
contractors to carry only one badge to log on to the
company network as well as to access facilities. With an
idOnDemand SmartID CIV credential, enterprises can fulfill
this vision while achieving high levels of access security
and technical interoperability similar to those provided
with Personal Identity Verification (PIV) cards.
"idOnDemand SmartID CIV allows commercial enterprises
to minimize the considerable time, investment and expertise
usually needed to achieve secure, trusted identities for
their employees and contractors," said Jason Hart,
Chief Executive Officer at idOnDemand. "By leveraging
idOnDemand's CIV credential, our customers can have an
electronically verifiable identity program without the
overly complex policy framework associated with issuance
and use of the PIV and PIV-I credentials -- all in a matter
of weeks, not years."
Available immediately, the idOnDemand SmartID CIV offering
is fully hosted and securely managed by idOnDemand. Pricing
is on a per-user basis. For more information, visit .
