Cryptographic Module for F5 and C5

ActivIdentity, Inc. - FIPS 140 #1501

historicalLevel 1

ActivIdentity F5 and C5 software development kits are designed to enable vendors to incorporate cryptographic-based technologies into their physical access control applications. The F5 SDK enables physical access strong authentication using FIPS 201 PIV smart cards, in compliance with the authentication modes described in NIST Special Publication 800-116. The C5 SDK enables strong authentication in the case of standalone electronic locks and physical access control systems, by writing digitally signed privileges to and from smart cards.
