Description
iCLASS SIO-Enabled (SE) smart cards represent the future of secure access technology within HID Global’s latest security ecosystem. Central to this ecosystem is the Secure Identity Object™ (SIO), a revolutionary approach to portable credential management, integrated with the Trusted Identity Platform™ (TIP) for advanced security, versatile applications, and enhanced mobility. The iCLASS SE cards are designed with multiple securely partitioned application areas, each protected by 64-bit diversified read/write keys, enabling complex functionalities and easy scalability for future needs. This smart card technology enhances secure access control by incorporating mutual authentication, encrypted data exchange, and robust 64-bit diversified keys for efficient read/write operations.
Available with storage capacities of 2k bit, 16k bit, or 32k bit, and with provisions for adding magnetic stripes or barcodes, the iCLASS cards adhere to ISO standards for card dimension and thickness, making them compatible with direct image and thermal transfer printing. The smart cards boast a graphics-quality surface ideal for Photo ID printing and come in either standard PVC or a robust composite polyester/PVC construction, suited for environments with high durability requirements. iCLASS SE smart cards can be equipped with visual security and anti-counterfeiting features such as holograms, ultraviolet fluorescent inks, micro-printing, or customized logos to ensure easy verification of authenticity. Operating at 13.56 MHz, the iCLASS SE contactless smart card technology is versatile, supporting numerous applications like physical access control, PC logon, biometric authentication, time and attendance tracking, cashless transactions, public transit, airline ticketing, and customer loyalty programs.
