Learn why and how enterprises planning converged physical and logical access control credentials can use FIPS 201 and the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card standards as a model.

Government contractors in particular are keen on FIPS compatible credentials, as the federal government explores ways to manage securely federated online identities with its large base of suppliers.

In this panel, members of the Smart Card Alliance discuss what these standards are, why they are a good model for the enterprise and introduce a wealth of resources that will help managers define a converged credential strategy and implement it.
