HID MIFARE DESFire EV3

HID MIFARE DESFire EV3

HID MIFARE DESFire EV3 is the latest addition to the MIFARE DESFire family of smart card chipsets from NXP. This advanced technology introduces additional features, and HID has fully leveraged these advantages. Here are some key points about DESFire EV3:

  • Feature-Rich Security:
  • DESFire EV3 cards implement the best features of the DESFire EV3 toolbox, including:
    • AES128 encryption: Ensures secure card data.
    • Secure channel-based file transfer: Protects against man-in-the-middle attacks.
    • Proximity checks: Enhances security.
  • Random UID: Unlike many other DESFire solutions, EV3 restricts the card from openly sharing any information associated with the user1.
  • Layered Security:
  • HID DESFire EV3 credentials offer layered security by incorporating a Secure Identity Object™ (SIO) data model.
  • SIO provides:
    • Key diversification: Enhanced security through diverse keys.
    • Authentication signatures and encryption: Additional protection.
  • Compatibility:
  • DESFire EV3 credentials are fully backwards compatible with EV1 and EV2 based solutions.
  • Available in three profiles:
    • High Security Profile: Best-in-class security and privacy, leveraging EV3 features and SIO application.
    • Compatibility Profile: Ensures flexibility with iCLASS® SE™, multiCLASS® Rev E readers, and third-party applications.

Summary: HID MIFARE DESFire EV3 offers robust security and compatibility, making it a critical component for modern physical access control programs.

RFID smart card reader

A Brief Overview RFID smart card readers are electronic devices that use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to read and write data stored on RFID tags or cards. These devices have become increasingly popular due to their convenience, speed, and security benefits. How They Work Radio Waves: The reader emits radio waves that interact with the RFID tag or card. Data Transmission: When the tag or card is within range, it receives the radio waves and responds by transmitting the stored data back to the reader. Data Processing: The reader decodes the received data and processes it according to the specific application. Types of RFID Smart Card Readers Contactless: These readers don't require physical contact between the reader and the card. They are commonly used in access control systems, public transportation, and payment systems. Contact: These readers require the card to be inserted into a slot. They are often used in banking and identity verification app...

HID iCLASS 213x Embeddable & iCLASS Prox Embedded Card

The HID iCLASS 213x Embeddable & iCLASS Prox Embedded Card is a versatile card that combines two different technologies: iCLASS : This is a 13. 56 MHz contactless smart card technology that provides a high level of security for access control applications. iCLASS cards can store a variety of data, including employee ID numbers, access control rights, and biometric information. Prox : This is a 125 kHz proximity technology that is widely used in access control systems. Prox cards are simpler and less secure than iCLASS cards, but they are also less expensive. The HID iCLASS 213x Embeddable & iCLASS Prox Embedded Card can be used in a variety of applications, including: Access control Network log-on security Cashless vending Time and attendance Biometric verification The card is also thin and lightweight, so it can be easily carried in a wallet or purse. Here are some of the benefits of using the HID iCLASS 213x Embeddable & iCLASS Prox Embedded Card: Security : Th...

MIFARE Classic cards 1K and 4k

The MIFARE Classic 1K Card is a type of contactless smart card that uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to store and transmit data. Here's a breakdown of its key features and functionalities: Technology: Low-frequency (LF) RFID:  Operates at 13.56 MHz, enabling contactless communication between the card and an RFID reader.  Integrated circuit chip: Embedded within the card, this chip stores electronic data. In the case of MIFARE Classic 1K, the storage capacity is 1 Kilobyte (1,024 bytes). Read/write capability:  Data on the card can be read multiple times and potentially updated in some sectors (depending on configuration). MIFARE Classic Specifics: MIFARE Classic is a widely used type of MIFARE card, known for its affordability and compatibility. The 1k designation refers to the data storage capacity of 1 Kilobyte, which is suitable for storing basic information like a unique identifier, access control permissions, or a small amount of prepaid value...
