Labcal's Be.U Mobile to support PIV authentication using PIN, fingerprint and/or X.509 certificate stored into a PIV smart card.

San Francisco, CA, May 15, 2007 - At today’s opening of the CardTech/SecurTech 2007 event, Labcal® Technologies Inc., a Canadian company manufacturing rugged mobile devices for positive identification and ID verification through biometrics, and SETECS, Inc., a Maryland company developing and marketing security software products for identity and access management, including smart card management, Web-services security and single sign-on, announced the availability of Labcal’s Be.U Mobile™ with SETECS OnePDA™, a PIV-compliant logical access control system (LACS) mobile station. Lowry Computer Products, Inc. is the Master Distributor of the combined solution in the United States.

The rugged handheld device with built-in smart card and biometric fingerprint reader enables mobile authentication and Personal Identify Verification (PIV) of an individual’s credentials using PIN, fingerprint and/or X.509 certificate stored into a PIV smart card, as defined by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) FIPS 201 standard. To support alternative deployment scenarios, the authentication can be performed using either contact or contactless PIV card technology.

"By adding SETECS OnePDA™ PIV functionalities, the Be.U Mobile SMC-800 series extends its leadership in handheld biometric authentication and identification devices for mission critical applications, now including HSPD-12 and First Responder applications in the United States and around the world,” said Pierre Root, President and CEO of Labcal.

Authentication and authorization information for millions of individuals can be stored in the device to enable rapid decision in extreme environments. Labcal’s Be.U Mobile also allows connection to large central site databases (AFIS) for accurate ID information in the field, making background checks very easy and reliable. This solution is used for applications such as Positive Identification, Travel Documents, e-ID and Employee ID. “PIV cards are a logical addition to the growing list of official federal government ID credentials, such as the DoD’s CAC (Common Access Card) and CATSA’s (Canadian Air Transport Security Authority) RAIC (Restricted Area Identity Card), that can be read and authenticated by the Be. U Mobile devices.” Roots adds.

"By working with Labcal and its Be.U Mobile device, SETECS is pleased to bring its innovative OnePDA™ PIV solutions to the mobile market, enabling additional functionalities that are critical for both mission performance and reliable identity protection,“ said Sead Muftic, President and CEO of SETECS.

"We are proud to have partnered with Labcal and SETECS to bring this new product to market and we look forward to future collaborations on upcoming authentication and identification projects," said Steve Lowry, VP of Sales and Co-founder of Lowry Computer Products, Inc., the Master Distributor of the combined solution in the United States.

The new solution is available at Labcal’s booth at the CardTech/SecurTech 2007 event. The CardTech/SecurTech 2007, one of the largest security events in the U.S., opens today and will run through May 17th at The Moscone Center West in San Francisco, CA.
