Intercede MyID PIV v9 Approved by U.S. Government
London, United Kingdom, 15 March 2011 - Intercede is pleased to
announce that Intercede MyID PIV v9, the latest version of its
identity and credential management system, has been approved by the
U.S. General Service Administration, GSA, for use by government
agencies as part of the Federal Information Processing Standards
201 program.
This enables Intercede's existing and new Federal customers to
take advantage of the greater utility, security and resilience of
the new generation of PIV cards that comply with the latest
enhanced cryptographic security requirements defined by U.S.
National Institute for Standards and Testing, NIST.
Specifically, Intercede MyID for PIV v9 is the first electronic
personalization product on the GSA's Approved Products List to
implement the recovery of archived encryption certificates in
accordance with the NIST SP800-73-3 specification.
This accreditation follows rapidly from another 'first' for
Intercede when, on February 17, 2011, it was announced that two
installations of Intercede MyID PIV v9 were used to issue the first
PIV-I cards to pass formal compliance testing.
The unique combination of PIV and PIV-I compliance enables both
Government and private sector organizations to deploy fully
interoperable identity cards with confidence. It reinforces
Intercede market strength because it is mandatory that U.S.
government agencies use only those products listed on the GSA APL
to enable their FIPS 201/PIV infrastructures.
Richard Parris, Intercede's Chairman and Chief Executive,
said:
"This approval further demonstrates that Intercede is the
technology leader for the supply of secure identities and
credentials to the U.S Government and its contractors. It builds
upon our initial success of having Intercede MyID listed as the
first electronic personalisation product approved by the GSA in
2006.
"This long term commitment to being first to market with
products that meet U.S. Federal standards ensures our customers are
protected from technical obsolescence. Furthermore, they can
leverage new cryptographic standards to deliver enhanced security
at the earliest possible date".
