CoreStreet FIPS-201 F5 Solution
Upgrade existing PACS systems to full HSPD-12 compliance with all functionality as defined in FIPS 201 and associated publications (e.g. SP 800-116, 800-73, 800-76)
The CoreStreet FIPS-201 F5 suite of products enables government agencies and commercial enterprises to upgrade their PACS system to allow for the verification of PIV cards, Department of Defense Common Access Cards (CAC), First Responder Authentication Credential (FRAC) cards and Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) cards without requiring the replacement or significant modification of the existing system.
Special Publication 800-116, as published by NIST in November 2008, covers recommendations for the use of Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials in PACS. The publication notes most Federal buildings use proprietary PACS architectures causing a lack of interoperability, as well as challenges in the areas of scalability, security, validity and efficiency.
The CoreStreet FIPS-201 F5 solution verifies the cards at "Controlled", "Limited" and "Exclusion" assurance levels as defined in SP 800-116, supporting all the required authentication mechanisms and checking the card's revocation status.
The CoreStreet FIPS-201 F5 Access Control Solution consists of the following elements:
- The CoreStreet FIPS-201 F5 Module, installed between an existing PACS panel and a supported card or biometric reader, that validates FIPS 201 cards, extracts the badge ID and passes it along to the PACS panel for an access decision
- The CoreStreet FIPS-201 F5 Management Station that provides centralized control of assurance level settings and distribution of validation data
- Optionally, the CoreStreet FIPS-201 F5 Enroller to enroll smart card credentials into the system.
