PSIA to showcase expanded PKOC-supported device lineup at GSX 2024

Sept. 17, 2024
PSIA will be showcasing the latest information and providing demonstrations for PKOC at the JCI Security Products demo room S230 A&B.

The Physical Security Interoperability Alliance (PSIA) will show an expanded roster of devices supporting its Public Key Open Credential (PKOC) specification at GSX 2024.

PSIA will be showcasing the latest information and providing demonstrations for PKOC at the JCI Security Products demo room S230 A&B. You will be able to see interoperability following open specifications between mobile and physical credentials from various vendors with multiple manufacturer readers leveraging Bluetooth, NFC, and UWB. 

Products supporting PKOC from JCI Security Products, Elatec, EMSi, Last Lock, INID, IDMachines, Sentry Enterprise, Secure Element Solutions, Taglio, RF Ideas, SAFR Scan, and Kastle Systems will be demonstrated.

One of the exciting parts of the demonstration will be PKOC over OSDP. In addition to devices supporting this part of the PKOC spec, we will be showing the IDmachines OSDP validation tool.

David Bunzel, PSIA Executive Director, noted, “PKOC over OSDP is an important extension to PKOC. Having compliant devices is an important step in commercialization of the spec."

PKOC creates truly secure and interoperable credentials. “PKOC solves a 30-year industry challenge which has plagued our industry with complexity, cost, and security issues.” says Jason Ouellette, Chairman of the Board, Physical Security Interoperability Alliance and Director of Engineering and Technology for Johnson Controls Security Products. “Interest in PKOC has accelerated and we are excited as PSIA members to demonstrate this in the context of interoperability where any PKOC compliant credential can work with any PKOC compliant reader over a secure communication without complexity.”
