Solutions for securing both physical facilities and critical digital assets and infrastructure.

Smart Solutions

Despite extensive investment by companies in cybersecurity solutions and best practices, cyber criminals continue to steal their employees’ credentials in ever more sophisticated phishing attacks.

The damage can be significant, with large organizations standing to lose up to $15 million per year—not to mention the reputational damage and loss of trust that result from a breach.

Certificate-based authentication based on the PIV (FIPS 201) standard along with FIDO2 passkeys offer robust solutions to human factor vulnerabilities, forming the cornerstone of any Zero Trust security framework.

Why IDEMIA

IDEMIA has been a leading provider of PIV and CAC cards to the U.S. federal government and large enterprise customers for over 20 years.

IDEMIA offers U.S.-based manufacturing and centralized print bureau services for personalization and fulfillment of PIV cards, and has delivered over 65 million cards to date.

In July 2025, IDEMIA’s ID-One PIV® 243 Card was the first to achieve FIPS 140-3 Level 2 validation from NIST, making it the first new addition to the GSA’s Approved Products List (APL) in four years. (Full press release.)

USB Security Keys: Find Your Format

While the bedrock of FIPS 201-compliant (PIV) authenticators remains the PIV card, there is an increasing demand for USB security keys because of their “plug-and-play” versatility for logical access.

IDEMIA now offers the ID-One Key™ range to make increasing your cybersecurity posture as convenient as possible.

Feature Comparison

Both the function-rich ID-One Key™ Bolt and the budget-friendly ID-One Key™ Go have PIV-certified cryptographic modules, while the ID-One Key™ Bolt is also FIDO2-certified, with both able to hold up to 120 FIDO2 passkeys.
