PSIA’s PKOC Demonstrated at GSX 2024
The PSIA had another impressive and compelling demonstration of its PKOC spec at GSX 2024. Some of the leading lock and physical access control (PACS) vendors were able to see PKOC in action, with commercially available readers, cards, and apps all relying on the open specification, showing seamless interoperability. The simplicity of PKOC, ease of integration, and the significant advantage of asymmetric encryption were some of the drivers that were most interesting to the companies and customers who were able to see the demonstration.
