HID Global's pivCLASS RKCL40 contact, plus contactless dual interface reader is suitable for use in security areas. When used in conjunction with HID Global's pivCLASS Authentication Module (PAM) or OSDP-compliant strong authentication controller infrastructure, the pivCLASS RKCL40 reader provides strong authentication ensuring that the card being presented is genuine; the data on the card has not been changed or manipulated; the card is not a copy or clone of another card; and the card has not been lost or stolen. When used in Card Authentication Key (CAK) mode, it supports reading any PIV-based card with a contactless interface and containing a CAK certificate. When used in PIV+PIN mode, the reader supports on-card-matching of a PIN, reading and validating the PIV Authentication Key certificate.
