In 2022, HID Global announced that March 31, 2023, would mark the end of support for HID’s pivCLASS Mobile Validation software.

Many HID mobile solution users have since explored the impact of the announcement on their operations.

FIPSlink software

In light of this news, Identity One has announced that their FIPSlink software is available as a replacement for users who previously relied on HID’s pivCLASS Mobile software for handheld verification of TWIC, PIV, and CAC (FIPS 201 credentials).

FIPSlink represents a cost-effective and operationally efficient alternative for existing HID pivCLASS customers.

Support renewal and upgrade

Users can contact their security integrator sales representative to replace pivCLASS with FIPSlink

Users can contact their security integrator or access control system sales representative to replace pivCLASS with FIPSlink software, using a special discount reserved for users switching from a competitor like HID to Identity One. 

This unique offering allows users to pay the equivalent of pivCLASS Mobile’s annual software support renewal and upgrade to the new FIPSlink software.

Seamless integration

FIPSlink performs TWIC, PIV, and CAC (FIPS 201 credential) validation and access control functions on handheld devices, such as Credence 3, Coppernic Access ER, and Idemia ID Screen running Android OS, while also allowing users to effortlessly integrate into existing PACS.

Users switching from pivCLASS to FIPSlink can also utilize their existing registrations in the pivCLASS database.

FIPS 201 credential registration

For users who want to start fresh with a clean database, Identity One offers FIPS 201 credential registration that integrates with the access control system.

FIPSlink is the only solution that offers users everything they need, from credential validation on a handheld device to multi-factor authentication at a gate, door, or turnstile and everything in between.
