July 29, 2010 (FinancialWire) (Go to http://www.financialwire.net/?s=ftrdnwswnd for all of today’s featured news.) — Hirsch Electronics, a manufacturer of integrated security and identity management solutions and a business unit of Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE) said it has received $4 million of orders to supply U.S. Department of Justice agencies with Hirsch security systems.

According to Hirsch, the majority of the revenue associated with the orders was recognized within the second quarter ended June 30.

Hirsch supplies solutions for security management and access control to a number of U.S. Federal agencies on an ongoing basis.

Since 2008, the Federal government has issued several million Personal Identity Verification cards for use by its employees. The smart card contains, government-issued digital certificates, which can be used for strong authentication of a cardholder's identity.

At the time of the PIV card's introduction, agencies lacked the technology to use the card's high-security features, and most cards have been used solely as a low-security photo ID. However, many agencies are beginning to upgrade their security systems to be able to utilize the new cards for highly secure building access control and computer log-on.

California-based Hirsch manufactures integrated security and identity systems for worldwide markets. Hirsch's solutions incorporate access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, digital certificates, smart cards and biometrics in order to successfully secure facilities, digital assets and electronic transactions.

Identive Group is a provider of products, services and solutions for the security, identification and RFID industries.
