PSIA Shows Free, Interoperable Mobile Credential at ISC West PLAI and PKOC Open Standards Event
On Wednesday, March 29, the Physical Security Interoperability Alliance (PSIA) will host a special event highlighting its Physical Logical Access Interoperability (PLAI) specification and its Public Key Open Credential (PKOC) specification. PLAI allows the normalizing of identity data across disparate Physical Access Control Systems (PACS). PKOC is a very exciting initiative, providing a free, interoperable mobile credential, which is likely to usher in a new era in the security market.
Interoperability Demo of Dynamic Identity Management Specification Set for GSX 2022
ON TUESDAY, September 13, the exhibit floor at GSX 2022 will host a virtual demonstration of two specifications developed by the Physical Security Interoperability Alliance (PSIA). The PSIA’s Physical Logical Interoperability (PLAI) specification and its Public Key Open Credential (PKOC) specification will be showcased by a number of industry leaders in the access control market. This demonstration will feature eleven partners involved in access control, credential, and biometrics markets, and provide an in-person experience for participants relying on a single trusted source.
The PSIA Approves Secure Credential Specification
The Physical Security Interoperability Alliance announced it has approved the Secure Credential Interoperability (SCI) 1.0 specification. The PSIA has been working with a broad group of industry leaders in the access control industry to come up with this specification, which is likely to have a significant influence on the future of secure mobile credentials. Mohammad Soleimani, the Chief Technology Officer of Kastle Systems and the Chairman of the SCI Work Group, introduced this concept to the organization in 2020.
The PSIA Introduces Secure Credential Interoperability Initiative
The Physical Security Interoperability Alliance (PSIA) announced its Secure Credential Interoperability (SCI) initiative and a working group to advance its development. The SCI specification supports NFC, ISO14443, and Bluetooth (BLE) and therefore can accommodate all device types including cards, mobile devices, and wearables. The group has already prepared a draft specification for apps, readers, and locks featuring BLE compatibility.
Physical Security Interoperability Alliance Newsletter
The Physical Security Interoperability Alliance (PSIA) created a video based on the Virtual PLAI Experience, an event held in May of this year, which included eight companies showing interoperability and exchange of identity information relying on the PLAI specification. The video combines step-by-step animation of how the specification works with actual interactive footage of PLAI technology in operation.
The PSIA Elects Jason Ouellette, Johnson Controls and Ewa Pigna, LenelS2, as Officers
PSIA announced it has elected Jason Ouellette, as its Chairman and Ewa Pigna, the Chief Technology Officer for LenelS2, a part of Carrier Global Corporation, as its Vice-Chairman. In addition, Peter Boriskin, the Chief Technology Officer for ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions Americas, will continue in his role as the organization’s treasurer. The PSIA membership develops specifications for enabling standards-based sharing of digital data and intelligence throughout the physical security and enterprise ecosystems.
Virtual PLAI Experience
In 2019, the PSIA decided to have one of the most compelling demonstrations for its PLAI specification at ISC West 2020. It would rely on a cloud-based agent, which would allow attendees to badge and authenticate at various vendor’s stands who had implemented the spec. As we entered 2020, technical development was progressing well and eight vendors were set to have PLAI implemented in devices and systems at their various booths and suites in Las Vegas.
