VeriSign's Card Management System Receives Certification from GSA for HSPD-12

VeriSign's Card Management System has received General Services Administration approval for FIPS 201-compliant Shared Service Provider PKI certificates, enabling government agencies to comply with FIPS 201 processes, including enrollment, document capture, biometric capture, card production, credentialing and printing, the company said.

VeriSign's Card Management System is pre-packaged and integrated with VeriSign's SSP PKI solution and is specifically designed for HSPD-12 deployments supporting a wide choice of compliant smart card types, workflows, and deployment options for meeting FIPS 201 requirements, the company added.

VeriSign's integrated solution enables federal government agencies, as well as other organisations seeking a standards-based approach, to quickly comply with the processes defined in FIPS 201. The solution integrates user enrollment, document capture, biometric capture, card production, credentialing and printing within a strictly role-separated application suite, VeriSign said.
