3M Cogent’s MiY-ID is an outdoor multi-purpose, multi-functional biometric access control reader. As new security standards emerge, companies are looking for a security product that meets current Physical Access Control System (PACS) standards for PIV, CAC, TWIC and others. 3M Cogent’s MiY-ID product allows them to meet current standards and easily conform to changing standards without having to replace their PACS readers. MiY-ID is TWIC approved and its government version, MiY-ID Gov, is the first product to be certified as an approved biometric authentication system by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) in accordance with FIPS 201 standard. With its ground-breaking “Make it Yours” application development platform, MiY-ID can virtually interface with any PACS and government credentials. The MiY-ID’s core product foundation and framework allows third party customization of almost any part of the product, leveraging future technologies as they are introduced. MiY-ID is the first reader of its kind to allow users the ability to securely customize a PACS reader while still maintaining compliance, and without sacrificing GSA APL scanner and matching algorithm certifications. 3M Cogent’s SecurAPI has over 500 functions to create various types of workflow with the existing hardware or third party hardware via the secure USB port. The MiY-ID’s outdoor design features an Ingress Protection Level (IP) 64 with built-in TLS encrypted Ethernet and PIV-approved matchers, scanners, and contact/contactless CHUID readers.
