Identiv, Inc. (INVE), a global leader in digital security and identification solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT), has unveiled the ScrambleFactor. This innovative reader represents a significant addition to their high-security physical access control system (PACS) portfolio. Designed specifically for the U.S. federal government, the ScrambleFactor aims to revolutionize secure entry for government agencies and organizations.

The ScrambleFactor boasts a sophisticated combination of biometric and multi-factor authentication protocols. It integrates fingerprint biometrics with a state-of-the-art LCD touchscreen keypad, allowing users to enter PINs through standard and “scramble” methods. Additionally, the device supports a variety of contactless and contact-based credentials, including RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) at 13.56MHz and 125kHz frequencies, as well as Common Access Card (CAC), Personal Identity Verification (PIV), and Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC). This comprehensive approach to authentication caters to diverse user preferences while meeting the rigorous standards set forth by the U.S. government’s Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) directives.

Furthermore, the ScrambleFactor prioritizes user privacy and high security in restricted access environments. Its 4.3-inch diagonal screen features viewing restrictors, preventing unauthorized individuals from shoulder surfing or gleaning sensitive information during authentication.

Introducing the ScrambleFactor aligns with Identiv’s ongoing commitment to providing government agencies with cutting-edge security solutions. This innovative reader not only enhances physical access control measures but also demonstrates the company’s dedication to exceeding the evolving security requirements of the U.S. federal government.
