Codebench, a member of the Lenel OpenAccess Alliance Program, has received Lenel factory certification for its PIVCheck Product Suite, a cardholder validation solution for HSPD-12 compliance with automated OnGuard registration and certificate management.

Certified with OnGuard 2006 (5.12.110) and OnGuard 2008 (6.0.148), PIVCheck Plus
provides strong, three-factor authentication and performs on-card biometric matching.
Managing the acquisition of cardholder data from a PIV, TWIC, NG CAC, or FRAC
card, PIVCheck Plus performs seamless, automated registration into OnGuard, and does
not require a third-party identity or credential management system.

PIVCheck uses FIPS-201 challenge-response in order to identify forged or cloned cards.
Digital certificates may be verified using the issuer's validation authority, OCSP
responder or repeater. TWIC card FASC-Ns are also verified against a live or cached
TSA Hot List.

PIVCheck’s Certificate Manager, a PC-based application that re-validates imported
cardholder certificates on a periodic basis, can be configured to suspend any badge
associated with a revoked certificate. Certificate Manager operates in either active or
passive mode. Active mode automatically suspends the badge, while passive mode
provides notification to site security management.

Using PIVCheck Plus to update an OnGuard cardholder record with information
harvested from a TWIC, PIV, NG CAC or FRAC credential, end-users may continue to
utilize their already issued badges for access, while their PIV, TWIC, NG CAC or FRAC
certificates are constantly re-checked for revocation. If PIVCheck’s Certificate Manager
finds a revoked certificate, the cardholder’s badges can be automatically suspended. This
important feature leverages the already existing access control infrastructure and supports
it with certificate management.

"PIVCheck’s integration with Lenel’s OnGuard will help end users quickly and
efficiently comply with HSPD-12 and the TWIC program," said Geri Castaldo, CEO of
Codebench. "Our PIVCheck product suite gives OnGuard facility operators the flexibility
to continue using their current access cards and readers, or to migrate to PIV-enabled
cards and readers over time."

"Codebench has completed required factory testing at Lenel to validate the functionality
of its interface to OnGuard. We look forward to their continued involvement in the Lenel
OpenAccess Alliance Program," said Raffaele Ceravolo, director of strategic alliances for
Lenel.

PIVCheck is available in mobile and desktop versions. In developing PIVCheck Mobile,
Codebench partnered with Datastrip Inc., a world-leading provider of field-proven mobile
identification and verification technology. Datastrip’s DSV2+TURBO® handheld biometric
terminal operates with commercial off-the-shelf FIPS 201 PIV-II and ANSI INCITS 378-
compliant fingerprint capture devices.
