HID 921NHRNEK0008P pivCLASS RK40-H Contactless Reader with Keypad

HID Global’s pivCLASS Government Solutions enable facilities to upgrade their existing physical access control systems (PACS) to achieve FIPS 201/FICAM compliance without the need to rip-and-replace their existing system. The RK40 and RPK40 are designed to support multiple use cases leading to full FICAM compliance.

Transitional reader – in this approach the reader can be used standalone to read legacy iCLASS and HID prox cards as well as FIPS 201 type cards and pass the card identifier directly to the panel. The key pad can be used to send a user entered PIN directly to the PACS panel. When used with the pivCLASS Registration Engine and Certification Manager software this approach provides a solution for a smooth transition to full FICAM compliance as well as a cost effective solution for “Uncontrolled” doors where access control is desired but FICAM compliance is not required.

FICAM compliant reader – to be FICAM compliant requires the addition of the pivCLASS Authentication Module (PAM) to provide single factor strong authentication. This configuration supports the CHUID + VIS and card authentication key (CAK) authentication modes as described in NIST Special Publication 800-116.

Two-factor strong authentication can be achieved by adding the HID pivCLASS contact reader sidecar. This sidecar provides a contact card reading slot and an LCD that displays messages and instructions to the card holder. This configuration supports the CHUID + VIS, CAK authentication modes over both the contactless and contact reader interfaces. It also supports the PKI + PIN authentication mode on the contact interface with match-oncard of the PIN.

Three-factor strong authentication can be achieved by adding the HID pivCLASS contact plus biometric reader sidecar. In addition to a contact card reading slot this sidecar also provides a biometric sensor. This configuration supports CHUID + VIS and CAK over both the contactless and contact reader interfaces. The PKI + PIN with match-on-card of the PIN and the PKI + PIN + BIO authentication modes use the contact interface.

HID 921NHRNEK0008P RK40-H Reader Features

• Integrated solution: Part of a trusted provider's system to enable FIPS 201 compliance per NIST SP 800-116 guidelines and the TWIC Reader Specification.
• Field reconfigurable: Can be upgraded in the field for higher assurance levels by adding a contact or contact plus biometric “sidecar”.
• Transitional reader: Supports legacy PIV, PIV-I, CAC, CIV, TWIC, FRAC, iCLASS® and HID Prox® cards allowing for a smooth transition from older technologies.
• Contactless functionality with keypad: Facilitates a “PIN to PACS” approach for “Uncontrolled” security areas using both legacy and FIPS-201 cards.

HID 921NHRNEK0008P Additional Product Features

• PivCLASS Authentication Module (PAM): Utilized for cryptographic operations needed for FICAM’s E-PACS testing, enhancing security.
• Secure operations: Security-critical tasks are handled within a secure perimeter, improving security and cost-effectiveness.
• Maximum flexibility: In-field sidecar expansion options available for contact interface, message LCD, and biometric sensor implementation.
• Phased FICAM compliance: Can function as a standalone reader for legacy and FIPS 201 type smart cards, with PAMs added later for compliance.
• Ideal for “Uncontrolled” areas: Access control can be implemented without the need for FICAM compliance.
