This is the second consecutive year CoreStreet has won the award. Both CoreStreet's PIVPAC[TM] Enroller and the CoreStreet Enabled[TM] Kaba E-Plex 5800 Physical Access Control System (PACS (Picture ArChiving System) A storage and management system for high-resolution images. Typically pertaining to the medical field, images such as X-rays, MRIs and CAT scans require a greater amount of storage than other industries. ) are acknowledged through this award, which recognizes the most innovative technologies in the world of smart cards Example of widely used contactless smart cards are Hong Kong's Octopus card, Paris' Calypso/Navigo card and Lisbon' LisboaViva card, which predate the ISO/IEC 14443 standard. The following tables list smart cards used for public transportation and other electronic purse applications. . "Last year we won for our work with the PIVMAN[TM] System and this year for our work with locking systems," said Sal D'Agostino, executive vice president, CoreStreet. "This kind of industry recognition helps validate the work our team has done over the past several years in creating security products that run within the FIPS-201 infrastructure."
