The RAPIDGate ® Program, from Eid Passport, Inc., is<br />
an end-to-end high assurance identity management<br />
and installation access control solution for vendors,<br />
contractors, and service providers. This field-proven,<br />
accredited, and widely-accepted credentialing and<br />
vetting program has been deployed at more than 450<br />
federal facility access control points across the United<br />
States and its territories, helping the U.S. military guard<br />
against such threats as unauthorized access, identity<br />
theft, fraud and cyber-crime. These threats put the safety<br />
<strong>of</strong> military personnel, critical infrastructure, and other<br />
valuable assets at risk every day. This DIACAP ATOcertified<br />
program was specifically designed to enhance<br />
installation safety and security and improve operational<br />
efficiency and effectiveness in aligning with HSPD-12/<br />
FIPS 201 requirements by utilizing our proprietary,<br />

validation, authentication, and registration. Since 2004,<br />
the RAPIDGate Program has identity-pro<strong>of</strong>ed, performed<br />

than 790,000 vendor/contractor employees representing<br />
approximately 59,000 companies doing business<br />
with the U.S. Navy, Army, Marine Corps, and Coast<br />
Guard. Over 130,000,000 authentication events have<br />
been recorded, the majority <strong>of</strong> which are vendors and<br />
contractors requiring identity verification and access to<br />
military and government bases/buildings. As a result,<br />
Eid Passport is the leading commercial provider <strong>of</strong> U.S<br />
