HID DESFire EV3 + iCLASS cards leverage security features including AES128 encryption, secure channel-based file transfer and proximity check to protect card data from attack. Furthermore, unlike many other DESFire solutions available on the market, random UID has also been introduced to ensure the card will never openly share any information that could be associated with the user. Finally, EV3 credentials from HID offer layered security with the addition of a Secure Identity Object™ (SIO) data model for added key diversification, authentication signatures and encryption. HID’s DESFire solutions offer choice with the highest standards in security and privacy features available out of the box. Bespoke applications are also supported and can be programmed in the field with the “Custom” profile option. HID Global’s DESFire EV3 + iCLASS credentials maintain interoperability with legacy iCLASS readers, meaning that all readers do not need to be upgraded immediately when starting a migration. This enables you to smooth out the implementation and cost of the upgrade over a time frame that works best for your schedule and budget.
