HID Global's pivCLASS R10 mini-mullion contactless reader is suitable for use in security areas. When used in conjunction with HID Global's pivCLASS Authentication Module (PAM), the reader provides strong authentication ensuring that the card being presented is genuine; the data on the card has not been changed or manipulated; and the card is not a copy or clone of another card. The pivCLASS R10 reader supports and reads any PIV-based cards with an ISO 14443 contactless interface and containing a Card Authentication Key (CAK) certificate.
