PLEASANTON, Calif., December 7, 2011 (euro adhoc) - idOnDemand, the
pioneer in smart identification and a business unit of Identive
Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE: Frankfurt: INV), announces its Commercial
Identity Verification (CIV) credential offering. With the Identive
SmartID card with CIV, private enterprises can leverage the same
technology and data model that the Federal government uses to
establish a secure, reliable, electronically verifiable identity
program without the requirement for cross-certification with the
Federal Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Bridge.

"Though new in concept, CIV is quickly being recognized for the
strong authentication that it offers the private sector and its wide
applicability based on proven, standards-based technology," said Rob
Zivney, VP Government & Standards for Identive Group and a Smart Card
Alliance Member. "Industry made a significant investment in smart
card research and development for government sector identity
applications. That technology can now be used by enterprises in the
private sector without the burden of maintaining policy requirements
for background checks, interoperability, and infrastructure. With
CIV, the private sector now can use the same government-grade smart
card with inherent cryptographic capabilities for strong
authentication, and leverage recognized specifications for
compatibility as they integrate the cards into their physical access
or IT infrastructure."

Many international or multi-site companies are looking for a secure
credential that allows their employees and contractors to carry only
one badge to log on to the company network as well as to access
facilities. With an idOnDemand SmartID CIV credential, enterprises
can fulfill this vision while achieving high levels of access
security and technical interoperability similar to those provided
with Personal Identity Verification (PIV) cards.

"idOnDemand SmartID CIV allows commercial enterprises to minimize the
considerable time, investment and expertise usually needed to achieve
secure, trusted identities for their employees and contractors," said
Jason Hart, Chief Executive Officer at idOnDemand. "By leveraging
idOnDemand´s CIV credential, our customers can have an electronically
verifiable identity program without the overly complex policy
framework associated with issuance and use of the PIV and PIV-I
credentials -- all in a matter of weeks, not years."

Available immediately, the idOnDemand SmartID CIV offering is fully
hosted and securely managed by idOnDemand. Pricing is on a per-user
basis. For more information, visit www.idondemand.com/products/civ.
