Smart Card & Biometric Readers

Smart Card and Biometric readers provide a much higher level of security than standard proximity or magnetic stripe readers. Software House offers a full suite of smart card and biometric readers.

HID iCLASS™ Readers

iCLASS readers from HID make access control applications more powerful, more versatile, and most importantly, offer enhanced security through encryption and mutual authentication.

iCLASS smart cards and readers from HID make access control more powerful, more versatile, and most important of all, offer 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 worldwideiCLASS cards and readers offer several unique features that put it a step ahead of traditional radio frequency identification (RFID) technology.

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.
