The ID-One Cosmo card is fully compliant with Federal Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) mandates for identification standards, including FIPS 201 the baseline requirements for a Federal Personal Identification Verification (PIV) system.
The ID-ONE Cosmo card offers the corporate market a rigorously tested, federally compliant ID card with a profile that supports both physical and logical access with the addition of cashless payment, or other applications of your choosing, on one card.
"ID-ONE Cosmo provides the perfect solution for the needs of corporations -- striking the perfect balance between convenience and interoperability without sacrificing security," says Xavier Fricout, Deputy Managing Director for the Identity Division.
"Our success in offering both a physical and logical security access solution for the Federal Government made this move into the corporate world seamless," says Patrick Hearn, Oberthur's VP of Government and Identification Markets for North America. "Companies are reassured to know that the technology has been proven, tested and is available for their use in a single card solution."
