Datastrip and Codebench Card Reader Solution Enrolls TWIC Cardholders at Port of Houston Authority

The Port of Houston Authority (PHA) successfully implemented the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program by harnessing a handheld card reader technology solution from Datastrip, Wayne, Pa., a provider of mobile identity verification and Codebench Inc., Coconut Creek, Fla., a physical security software provider. Using Datastrip’s DSV2+TURBO with Codebench’s PIVCheck Plus software, PHA has enrolled close to 7,000 TWIC cardholders in the Houston area to date.

PIVCheck Certificate Manager software checks cardholder data against the TSA hotlist twice daily and notifies PHA if a cardholder appears on the list. The US Coast Guard will use the Datastrip card readers and PIVCheck software to confirm the identity of TWIC cardholders during regular inspections as well as random spot checks.
