HID Fargo iCLASS SE MiFARE/Prox Smart Card

Multi-Technology iCLASS SE®/HID Prox Card

• Supports Secure Identity Object™ (SIO) – Multi-layered security beyond the card technology, providing added protection to identity data.
• Trusted Identity Platform® (TIP™) enabled – Provides trusted identity within a secure ecosystem of interoperable products.
• Supports future growth – iCLASS® 13.56 MHz read/write contactless smart card technology with multiple, securely separated files enables multiple applications for future growth.
• Flexible configurations – Available in iCLASS 2k, 16k or 32k bit, MIFARE CLASSIC 1KB or 4KB, and MIFARE DESFire EV1 8KB with ability to add a magnetic stripe/barcode and anti-counterfeit features (custom artwork and photo ID).
• Ideal migration solution – For use of both 13.56 MHz SIO-enabled (SE) smart card and 125 KHz HID Prox technologies

Expanding upon the achievements of the flagship iCLASS standard for 13.56 MHz (and 125 KHz HID Prox) contactless smart card technology, HID Global introduces its latest access control platform. This platform surpasses the conventional smart card model by providing a secure, standards-based, technology-independent, and adaptable identity data structure. This is made possible through Secure Identity Object (SIO), a novel methodology for portable credentials developed by HID. iCLASS SIO-Enabled (iCLASS SE) smart cards are an integral part of the next-generation iCLASS SE access control platform and open ecosystem. This ecosystem operates on HID’s Trusted Identity Platform (TIP) architecture, facilitating advanced applications, mobility, and heightened security.

The iCLASS system was purposefully engineered to enhance access control, offering increased power, versatility, and security. It achieves encryption for all radio frequency data transmissions between the credential and reader via a secure algorithm. iCLASS SE builds upon this foundation by delivering additional features like key diversification, authentication, encryption, and portability, thereby enhancing security and performance.

HID’s iCLASS SE 13.56 MHz read/write contactless smart card technology, along with HID Prox, finds applications across various domains including physical access control, PC logon, biometric verification, time and attendance tracking, cashless vending, public transportation, airline ticketing, and customer loyalty programs.
