Aware Inc. has announced it has supplied a major U.S. government agency with client and server-based software products for the personal identity verification (PIV) employee credentialing system implemented by IT services firm Jacob & Sundstrom.
The solution Aware has sent is their Universal Registration Client (URC) and their Biometric Services Platform (BioSP) which through working together are to provide enterprise-wide enrollment of employees into the PIV system as well as offering centralized data structuring and workflow for the issuance of the employee credentials.
In the system provided to the agency, the URC will handle enrollment and capture of biometric information such as facial images, digital signatures and fingerprint scans as well as scans of an employees I9 form. After an employee is enrolled, the BioSP provides card-based password access control to whichever systems the agency decides as well as processes any data sent from the URC system.
