Civix and Zwipe Initiate Proof-of-Concept with Safe Skies at Richmond International Airport

22 Feb 2023 08:00 CET

NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA and OSLO, NORWAY - 22 February 2023 - Civix, in
partnership with Zwipe, is performing a new biometric technology Proof-of
-Concept (POC) initiative at Richmond International Airport (RIC), a TSA
-approved Airport Innovation Forum member in the USA.

Civix leverages Zwipe technology to power biometric smart cards for access
control. The Civix ASC Access Cards use built-in fingerprint sensors to check
the legitimacy of cardholders at points of entry. The cards are fully compatible
with NFC card readers, so airports can use them to implement two-factor
authentication without upgrading the existing hardware. The solution is also
contactless, a priority for high-traffic facilities, like airports, in light of
COVID-19.

National Safe Skies Alliance, Inc. (Safe Skies) is a non-profit organization
that works with airports, government, and related industries to maintain a safe
and effective aviation security system. Since 1997, they have been a trusted
resource for decision makers seeking impartial information on airport security
technology and procedures. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) provides
funding for their programs and in this case, Safe Skies is performing testing as
part of its Airport Security System Integrated Support Testing (ASSIST)
program.

"We're pleased to have Safe Skies involved in third-party testing of the ASC
Access biometric card solution in a real-world airport environment at the
Richmond Airport" said Tim Walsh, President of Civix Airports. "We're grateful
to have Zwipe on-board with their secure platform and access control
technology."

Airports today need scalable and robust solutions that are secure, user
-friendly, and cost-effective to deploy. Zwipe is part of the next generation of
access control solutions that are non-duplicable, therefore improving security
and eliminating the risk of stolen or borrowed access cards being used.

Robert Puskaric, President & CEO of Zwipe says, "We are extremely proud to be
working with Safe Skies as part of this innovative Proof-of-Concept with Civix,
a leading provider of solutions that are improving security at American
airports."
