FICAM Solution

Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) are the security disciplines that enable a government agency to allow the right individual to access the right resource at the right time for the right reason. FICAM is the acronym for Federal Identity, Credential, and Access Management, which is an architectural road map and implementation guide designed to help U.S. federal government agencies improve the security, cost, and interoperability of providing their services.

Identiv's FICAM Solution includes the following hardware and software components:

• The 3.6 SP2 or later release of the Federal edition of Velocity Server

• The Velocity Certificate Checking Service (running on a Windows server)

• M2, M8, Mx, or Mx-1 controllers

• A SNIB3 communications expansion board (or the equivalent functionality built onto the Mx-1's mainboard), for each controller running in FICAM mode

• An RS-485 Readers Expansion Board (RREB), or the equivalent functionality built onto the Mx-1's mainboard, for each controller running in FICAM mode

• FICAM-capable RS-485 card readers (such as Identiv's uTrust TS Government readers or Veridt's Stealth Bio or Stealth Dual readers)

• To enroll PIV, PIV-I, or TWIC cards into Velocity, you also need a smart card reader with contacts (such as Identiv's SPR332 v2.0 Secure Class 2 PIN pad reader) and a fingerprint reader

For most customers, Identiv's FICAM solution enables you to upgrade an existing Velocity system, instead of having to purchase and install a new physical access control system. Because this is a relatively complex process with many steps, you might want to obtain assistance from the Identiv Global Services group.

The following table shows the compatible builds of the software components in Identiv’s FICAM Solution, corresponding with Velocity’s most recent releases.
