Title

Deployed Proximity or Magnetic Stripe Authentication

Control

Deployed proximity and magnetic stripe authentication are not PIV authentication mechanisms and when used in conjunction with PIV authentication mechanisms, there is a strong potential for “collisions”. Proximity and magnetic stripe card technology read a number from a card and send it to the Controller. The Controller compares this number against its database to make the access control decision. If a deployed system does not include an agency code in the numbers compared, an out-of-agency cardholder may be mistakenly accepted as an authorized site user. Refer to Appendix B for additional details. Moreover, proximity and magnetic stripe cards can be easily counterfeited or cloned.
