13.56 MHz Contactless Cards and Readers

Optimized to make physical access control more powerful, iCLASS® 13.56 MHz read/write contactless smart card technology provides versatile interoperability and supports multiple applications such as biometric authentication, cashless payment and PC log-on security. iCLASS smart cards and readers make access control more powerful and more versatile, offering enhanced security through encryption and mutual authentication. At the same time, iCLASS is user-friendly, delivering the convenience, affordability and reliability of contactless 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.

Did You Know? w There is an iCLASS Clamshell card at the same price as the ProxCard II? w iCLASS Reader installation is identical to Prox? w iCLASS costs no more than Prox, often even less?

Prox and iCLASS Comparisons ®

Many are familiar with HID’s proximity reader and card technology. However, HID’s iCLASS contactless smart card technology may not be as well known. In short, iCLASS is the next generation of proximity. Establishing the similarities between the two technologies provides a basis for outlining the differences. The HID access control application information programmed on an iCLASS chip is the same information that is programmed on a proximity chip. That information includes a facility code and card number in a specific HID format. HID proximity readers read HID formats from HID proximity cards, and iCLASS readers read HID formats from HID iCLASS cards. HID proximity readers and iCLASS readers produce a Wiegand protocol output to the access control panel. An HID proximity card with format H10301 (standard 26-bit format), facility code 20 and card number 1,000 would look the same to an access control panel as an iCLASS card with the same format, facility code, and card number. Therefore, the way the two technologies work from a basic access control standpoint is identical. Both card technologies use HID formats and both reader technologies produce a Wiegand protocol output.

The main differences between proximity and iCLASS lie in the additional capabilities provided by iCLASS. These include: Encrypted Communication The communication between an iCLASS reader and card is encrypted using a secure algorithm so the transaction between the card and reader cannot be “sniffed” and replayed to a reader. The encryption protocol uses a combination of diversified keys, unique 64-bit card serial numbers and mutual card and reader authentication. Capability to Add Other Applications The iCLASS chip not only stores HID access control information, it also has memory space available for other applications. iCLASS cards are currently available with 2k bit, 16k, and 32k bit memory capacities, and depending on the amount of memory available and the number of memory areas, iCLASS cards can serve as multi-application credentials that can be used for many purposes. Since the memory can securely store any kind of information, applications for iCLASS include biometrics, secure computer/network authentication, health record management, time and attendance, digital cash (cafeteria & vending) and many, many more.
