Relevant Issue: <strong>FIPS</strong> compliance does not imply PACS compliance <strong>and</strong><br />

therefore confusion will result ; “what is compliance?”<br />

Recommendation: Minimum specifications for reader output should be<br />

more clearly defined based on open st<strong>and</strong>ards<br />

Relevant Issue: One way or two way reader communications with ACP<br />

Recommendation: Two way communications with readers are possible<br />

(<strong>and</strong> now also with Weig<strong>and</strong> data) <strong>and</strong> more secure<br />

but not addressed. Tools to crack Weig<strong>and</strong> available.<br />

Relevant Issue: Intelligent readers do not prevent physical attacks<br />

Recommendation: Employ tamper mechanisms to avoid physical attacks<br />

<strong>and</strong> provide guidance on door <strong>and</strong> hardware specs for<br />

high assurance applications<br />
