Intercede and CoreStreet Announce Full Integration of MyID and CoreStreet PIVMAN Solutions

Intercede Group plc, a leading developer and supplier of smart
card and identity credential management software, and CoreStreet, the
leader in credential validation solutions, today announced the
integration of Intercede´s MyID with the CoreStreet PIVMAN solution.
This integration allows customers to more easily implement an identity
verification and security solution for major events such as sporting
championships and political conventions, as well as for disaster
management by the First Responder community.

Intercede´s MyID is a smart card and identity credential
management system that enables organizations to enroll, issue and
manage the lifecycle of smart cards, USB authentication devices, PKI
certificates, biometrics and other identity credentials.

The CoreStreet PIVMAN solution consists of software for handheld
devices designed to allow authorized personnel the ability to control
access to any site with confidence by quickly authenticating and
validating the roles and identities of individuals wishing to enter an
area.

The integration of MyID and CoreStreet PIVMAN provides an
easy-to-install, configure and operate solution for end-to-end
identity enrolment, vetting, issuance and lifecycle management, as
well as operational authentication and validation of credentials. The
solution components have been successfully used to issue and validate
credentials at several First Responder exercises and a key NATO
conference.

"Being able to quickly and reliably validate credentials at major
events where security is a high-priority is critical - particularly
when there are thousands of people that need access inside the
perimeter," said Richard Parris, CEO, Intercede. "The decision to more
closely integrate Intercede´s and CoreStreet´s identity and credential
management systems was a natural choice given our successful
collaboration on ID projects for high profile events. The depth and
comprehensiveness of this joint solution redefines the competitive
landscape for customers and integrators of large scale credentialing
projects."

By fully integrating their products, both companies increase speed
in development of robust products and solutions, reduce risk by
leveraging solid technical frameworks for identity and attribute
management, and gain new complementary functionality. This integration
of complementary products provides customers in government and event
management, as well as in the financial, critical infrastructure and
bio-pharma sectors, with a secure and flexible enterprise-wide
identity solution.

"This integration of Intercede and CoreStreet products provides
for a smart card-based identity solution that will allow customers to
immediately verify the identities of individuals, check their
competencies and provide access control anywhere at venues," said
Chris Broderick, CEO, CoreStreet. "CoreStreet and Intercede have
successfully worked jointly on a number of critical programs and we
look forward to expanding the relationship."
