2.8.1.1
Data Encryption
**************************************************************************
NOTE: This paragraph may be removed by the designer
if encryption is not required by the project.
**************************************************************************
Encryption between the card, card reader, and panels shall meet Federal
Information Protocol Standards (FIPS) of [FIPS 46-3 (DES and TDES)] [FIPS
197 (AES)].
2.8.1.2
Magnetic Stripe
Magnetic stripe card readers shall read credential cards which meet the
requirements of ISO 7810, ISO 7811-1, ISO 7811-2, and ISO 7811-5. Magnetic
stripe credential cards shall use single layer 4000 ersted magnetic tape
material. The magnetic tape material shall be coated with Teflon and
affixed to the back of the credential card near the top. The number of
bits per inch, number of tracks, and number of unique codes available for
the magnetic tape shall be in accordance with ISO 7811-1, ISO 7811-2, and
ISO 7811-5.
2.8.1.3
Weigand Wire Effect
Weigand card readers shall read credential cards which are encoded using
Weigand effect ferromagnetic wires laminated into the credential card. The
Weigand card reader shall create a magnetic field and output a coded
representation of the unique pattern of magnetic flux changes produced by
moving the credential card through the card reader. The output shall be a
series of electrical signals and shall constitute a unique identification
code number. Weigand credential cards shall use at least 24 binary digits
to generate a unique credential card identification code.
2.8.1.4
Smart Cards
Smart card readers shall read credential cards whose characteristics of
size and technology meet those defined by ISO/IEC 7816. Smart card
implementation shall adhere to the Government Smart Card Interoperability
Specification (GSC-IS) and adhere to the data formats as specified by the
DoD SEIWG format. The readers shall have "flash" download capability to
accommodate card format changes. The card reader shall have the capability
of reading the card data and transmitting the data, or a portion thereof,
to the ESS control panel.
2.8.1.5
Contactless Smart Card
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Contactless Smart cards are the preferred
smart card technology for access control due to
speed and durability under outdoor and/or other
harsh environments. There are hybrid cards
available which combine contact and contactless
technology in one card.
**************************************************************************
Smart card readers shall read credential cards whose characteristics of
size and technology meet those defined by ISO/IEC 7816. Smart card
implementation shall adhere to the Government Smart Card Interoperability
