use true open architecture for your security solution software.pdfquintron’s next generation...

Quintron’s next generation AccessNsite® software brings true meaning to the term Open Architecture. AccessNsite will run on a variety of operating systems including Windows, Linux, OSX, and others. You can choose from a variety of databases in which to store your valuable data such as Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, and HSQLDB. And your choices don’t stop there. AccessNsite manages “best of breed” access control and intrusion hardware platforms such as Mercury, HID, DMP, and others.

AccessNsite was written from the ground up as a Java application giving it unlimited system scalability, flexibility, and reliability. The user interface is intuitive to help you get the job done fast. Due to its object-oriented design, alarms and events aren’t just static information any more. Right-click on an “Access Denied” event and go directly to the badge record to see the assigned access rights. You

can setup permissions on each login for granular control of what your users are allowed to do. Run simple reports from the informa-tion you are currently looking at, or create more complex reports against the entire database using the Reports module. Create maps of your facility and manage your alarms graphically. Drill down from a campus view, to a building view, to the actual room on the floor plan where the alarm is occurring. The modular design allows you to place windows where you want, even on multiple monitors.

AccessNsite is designed to answer a wide array of needs from the small business to the large enterprise. Make use of everything from database partitioning for managing multi-tenant buildings, to our web client to manage your site remotely, or even our Enterprise Communicator to transfer badge records between multiple sites within an enterprise. AccessNsite is the total solution.

As a security professional, you know the importance of having a compliant system that you can count on day after day, regard-less of the evolution of the directive and its details. That is why selecting the right physical access control system (PACS) vendor is paramount. Quintron has a legacy of engineering excellence proven over decades of delivering requirements driven solutions for mission critical national security agencies and organizations.

Quintron is committed to providing the best HSPD-12 physical access control system − AccessNsite PACS®. To that end, we’ve dug into the details and searched out critical technology partners. We seamlessly integrated the essential functional components necessary to meet GSA, NIST, OMB, and the White House’s re-quirements to leverage the federally mandated, PKI enabled, smart credential carried by all federal employees to provide an unprec-edented level of facility security.

Quintron fully understands the technical challenges that must be overcome in order to provide a system that is compliant both today and tomorrow. Built on the Java programming language, AccessNsite can be installed on any operating system, use any

database, and be located on any virtual machine or hosted in the cloud. This is a tremendous advantage in today’s IT-centric government enterprise. AccessNsite simultaneously supports the industry’s leading access control and alarm monitoring panels in the same PACS. As a security administrator, you now have the option to continue supporting your existing panels and install new panels from another manufacturer; allowing you to keep pace with changing technologies.

For the past 41 years, Quintron Systems Inc. has designed, developed, and deployed mission critical command, control, com-munications, and security solutions for federal, state, local, and contractor organizations worldwide. No provider of HSPD-12 solu-tions is better positioned to guarantee compliance to the rigorous specification for HSPD-12 PACS facility security systems. No one. That is why Quintron’s AccessNsite should be #1 on your PACS provider short list.

The complete HSPD-12 security solution

The Steps to HSPD-12 PACS Compliance

THE FIRST STEP to HSPD-12 compliance is to enroll the credentials carried by your organization’s staff or authorized visitors into the system. This process captures and stores data from the smart credential into one or more databases that are part of the new HSPD-12 compliant PACS. AccessNsite can support enrollment readers at multiple locations on your network, such as in your lobby, security

office, and/or badging office.

The user docks their credential in the enrollment reader and enters the card’s PIN on the reader’s keypad. This opens access to the card’s data so the reader can perform several critical steps. The card is checked for an expired certificate date and immediately rejects it from enrollment if expired. If the card is still valid, the user can be prompted to present a biometric (usually a fingerprint) to validate against the biometric stored on the card.

Next, the card is challenged using the PKI encryption process which detects modified and, more importantly, cloned or copied cards. If the PKI challenge fails, the credential is immediately rejected from the enrollment process; otherwise, the certificate can be checked against a revocation list using Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) or other blacklists to ensure validity. If the card is valid, the enrollment process continues by harvesting the card-holder’s unique data and certificates and storing that data in a repository.

At this point, the credential data is transferred from the repository database into the AccessNsite database and is either manually or automatically assigned a default set of access privileges making the smart card ready for use at the door.

WHEN A USER PRESENTS a credential at the door, the AccessNsite PACS authenticates the card according to the current security level and grants access, as appropriate, based on the access privileges assigned to the user.

Within the AccessNsite software, the security level at which cards are validated can be raised or lowered in real-time by changing the number of authentication factors enforced to obtain

the desired type of protection (Controlled, Limited, and Exclusion) described in NIST Special Publication 800-116. Providing all the required information (e.g. biometric) exists in the original enrollment data, this can be done without having to re-enroll any credentials.

Quintron’s smart card readers are capable of reading contact and contactless CAC, PIV/PIV-I, TWIC, FRAC, GSA and other govern-ment issued smart cards. Quintron’s readers and panels perform a challenge-response at the door using the Public and Private keys that are stored on the smart card. Upon a successful challenge, Quintron’s newest control panels match the smart card’s FASC-N or GUID codes bit for bit to the same numbers stored within the panel. Be aware, many panels offered in the commercial market cannot store the entire identifier and are limited to storing a hash, or reduced number of bits, that place them out of compli-ance with HSPD-12.

Quintron’s newest panels and readers provide a trusted level of security and meet the toughest part of the HSPD-12 spec. This is why Quintron has dozens of these systems in operation today across numerous Federal sites.

FINALLY, the PACS re-validates cards by connecting, once every 18 hours (or per set schedule), to the Federal Bridge via available OCSP responders to authenticate the current status of all of the PIV credentials stored in the PACS database. Full path discovery and valida-tion (PDVAL) is performed periodically on the certification path to ensure the integrity of the certificate trust paths.

Any credentials that have been revoked will be automatically dis-abled within the PACS. Any attempts to use disabled credentials will be denied and displayed in real-time as an event and/or an alarm.

Full logging of activity within the system allows you to run reports on items such as:

• Verification of all PKI processing• Credential number processing and transmission• Software driven configuration changes• Periodic certificate PDVAL and status checking• Alarm reporting and credential tracking• PKI policies for name constraints, path constraints, and validity checks• Date individuals were provisioned or de-provisioned• All readers and their modes

FEDERATED ACCESS CONTROL – THE NEXT STEP

For over 20 years, Quintron has delivered an advanced federated access control middleware platform that is deployed worldwide and has distributed millions of badge records (with field level selection) between independent agencies of the Federal government.

No other access control vendor can match Quintron Systems in their level of experience in federated access control. While the core concept of HSPD-12 was to create a trusted credential that could operate across all federal agencies by being locally enrolled into the PACS at each agency site, it did not initially address a solu-tion for backend credential data sharing between agencies.

Quintron’s next generation of federated access management, the Enterprise Communicator, is now available as an integrated capabil-ity within Quintron’s PACS – AccessNsite. The Enterprise Commu-nicator allows individual agencies to automatically share credential data with remote sites, or other agencies, and authenticate those credentials against validation databases and services in order to automate authorized access privileges of federally issued creden-tial holders as they travel between agency sites and organizations. Quintron can implement this technology today on any scale from one door to thousands, and from one to millions of credentials.
