HID
Cards, ISOProx II, iClass Proximity Cards, Systems and ReadersHID Corporation is the market leader in proximity cards and reader systems. It's owned by ABLOY, the company that makes locks. Chances are you have one or have seen one being used in a car park, to open security doors etc. Many companies use HID technology branded as their own, e.g. Bewator or Group Four. ACT systems also use HID cards.
There are several different types of HID card products available, please click on the one you want to know more about below.

CLASS smart cards and readers make access control more powerful, more versatile, and most important of all, offers enhanced security through encryption and mutual authentication. At the same time, iCLASS is user-friendly, delivering the convenience, affordability and reliability of proximity technology for which HID is known worldwide. Imagine an affordable, single-card, contactless solution that allows you to not only read data securely and quickly, but also to securely write data to the card, for many applications. You have imagined iCLASS, by HID. iCLASS Meets Industry Standards The development team at the Identification Technology Group of ASSA ABLOY has utilized advanced semiconductor technology based on the 13.56 MHz frequency to meet numerous ISO standards. iCLASS readers can read data from cards compliant with the following standards: * ISO 15693 - read/write; 2kbits (256Bytes) and 16kbits (2kBytes) * ISO 14443, Type A - read only; MIFAREŽ (serial number) * ISO 14443, Type B2 - read/write; 16kbits (2kBytes) Meeting the standards above is important in smart card technology because they enable many equipment and application developers to work with this technology to create a broader range of uses for the card. iCLASS Meets Government Standards HID supports FIPS 201 PIV (Personal Identification Verification). Fully compliant iCLASS contactless smart card readers are available to output the FASC-N (Federal Agency Smart Credential Number) in multiple configurations, providing the versatility to support both existing and new access control systems. Standard communication protocols make it easy to replace existing access control card readers with HID FIPS 201 compliant card readers.

These features include: * Cryptographic data storage * Mutual authentication * Secure reading and writing of data * User definable access keys All radio frequency data transmission between the card and reader is encrypted using a secure algorithm. By using industry standard encryption techniques, iCLASS reduces the risk of compromised data or duplicated cards. For even higher security, card data may also be protected with DES or triple DES encryption.

SMARTS Program The Secure Multi-Access Ready-To-Ship or SMARTS program offers low quantities (10-999) and quick delivery of 125 kHz proximity technology cards with an embedded contact smart chip module from leading smart chip vendors Axalto, Datakey, Gemplus or Giesecke and Devrient (G & D). This creates the opportunity for small to mid-size companies to affordably purchase low quantities of multi-technology cards for demos or deployment. It also offers large enterprises the ability to obtain low-cost cards for pilot programs or to test applications. In addition to the ability to order low quantities, SMARTS program card order shipments have been reduced from 12 weeks to five working days from order confirmation. The SMARTS program card is targeted for applications that combine contactless physical access with smart card applications. These SMARTS cards are also ideal for expanding card capabilities or for addressing new corporate, government or university market demands and they provide the ability to combine various technologies onto one card for end-user convenience and lower overall card costs. Click here for more information on the SMARTS Program. Embeddable Smart Cards The ability to create multi-technology cards is easy when you combine contact smart chips with either or both iCLASS 13.56 MHz contactless read/write smart card and 125 kHz proximity technology along with adding a magnetic stripe, barcode and anti-counterfeiting features including custom artwork or a photo identification directly on the credential. Embeddable smart card options are also offered with 125 kHz proximity, magnetic stripe, MIFARE technologies along with a full complement of smart chip software applications for such diverse applications including access control, network log-on security, automotive vehicle identification, cashless vending, time and attendance, and biometric verification. HID works with numerous smart card providers and application developers to assist you in choosing the correct smart chip and application set. All embeddable card options meet strict ISO thickness standards for use with direct image and thermal transfer printers. Click here for more information on the Embeddable Smart Cards.

Wiegand technology is widely recognized and field proven for over 18 years. The cards and readers are low cost and durable, with a high level of security. What is Wiegand Effect? Wiegand effect is a pulse-generating phenomenon in a special alloy wire that is processed in such a way as to create two distinct magnetic regions in the same homogeneous piece of wire, referred to as a shell and a core. These two magnetic regions react differently to any applied magnetic field. The shell requires a strong magnetic field to reverse its magnetic polarity, whereas the core will revert under weaker field conditions. When the shell and core change to different polarity orientations, the Wiegand pulse is generated, and is sensed by a pickup coil (the reader). Due to the complexity of manufacturing the Wiegand wire, Wiegand cards are virtually impossible to duplicate and remain one of the most secure access control technologies.
