Complete Solution for PIV Enablement 
HID Global’s pivCLASS
®
 Government Solutions 
portfolio is an extensive product family that 
makes it easy for U.S. Federal Government, 
government contractors and other facilities to 
comply with security regulations and to use 
their Personal Identity Verification (PIV) and 
other smart cards for physical access control, 
resulting in compliance, interoperability and 
high security.
FIPS 201 Compliance Without The Need to 
“Rip and Replace”
The pivCLASS modular approach provides 
government agencies the ability to use 
their PIV identity cards for strong public 
key infrastructure (PKI)-based validation for 
physical access control. The solution enables 
this functionality without the need to “rip 
and replace” existing physical access control 
systems (PACS), reducing costs, and removing 
complexities to make it easy and affordable to 
acquire, install and maintain compliant physical 
access control systems. 
Affordable Personal Identity 
Verification (PIV) Enablement 
Solutions from a Single, 
Trusted Supplier  
pivCLASS accomplishes this in part by 
communicating with an agency’s PACS 
and external trust authority PKIs to deliver 
functionality specified by National Institute 
of Standards and Technology (NIST) Federal 
Information Processing Standards Publication 
201 (FIPS 201).  
An Integrated Solution from a Single Provider
 
Delivering fully tested and validated 
turnkey government solutions from a single, 
trusted source, pivCLASS authenticates 
PIV credentials across the full range of 
assurance levels as defined by the federal 
government’s Special Publication 800-116 (SP 
800-116). pivCLASS products also support the 
Transportation Worker Identification Credential 
(TWIC) Reader Specification.
The pivCLASS portfolio includes pivCLASS 
Registration Engine, pivCLASS Certificate 
Manager, pivCLASS Reader Services, pivCLASS 
Authentication Module (PAM) and a complete 
line of pivCLASS readers, enabling agencies to 
quickly and easily acquire all of the necessary 
components for their PIV-enabled access 
control systems.
