The impact of the federal government's Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) on identity management systems and physical access control will be the focus of the Smart Card Alliance's presence at this week's ISC West Conference, taking place Wednesday through Friday at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas

Members of the Smart Card Alliance Physical Access Council will present a panel discussion titled "Migration of Physical Access Control Systems Based on the Impact of Government HSPD-12" on Wednesday from 10 a.m. to noon.

The panelists include Bob Gilson, Department of Defense (DoD) Manpower Data Center (DMDC) Access Card Office; Patrick Hearn, Oberthur Card Systems; Dwayne Pfeiffer, Northrop Grumman Corp.; Roger Roehr, Tyco Fire & Security; and Lars Suneborn, Hirsch Electronics.

The session will review key considerations in the migration of physical access control systems (PACS) to comply with HSPD-12, including complying with the substantially larger data elements on the cards, biometrics access, secure communications channels and IT system interfaces, as well as the implications for the commercial sector and other government identity applications. A case study will show how an existing government smart card-based ID card program is migrating to comply with HSPD-12.

Also at the show, the Smart Card Alliance will host an HSPD-12 demonstration center in booth #26149 where members will demonstrate the personalization and use of a dual-interface FIPS 201 Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card. The demonstration will show PIV card personalization, activation/issuance, and usage in physical and logical access control systems, featuring products and services from Alliance members ActivIdentity, Hirsch Electronics, Northrop Grumman Corp. and Oberthur Card Systems

While attending the show, don't forget to visit the Access Control & Security Systems booth (# 24144) to meet members of our staff.
