HID SAFE™ Enterprise physical identity and access management solution
HID SAFE™ Enterprise physical identity and access management solution

Utilises pre-defined rules and workflows for on-/off-boarding of identities, access provisioning/de-provisioning and access change management Allows users to manage various details of a physical identity including access card information, biographic and biometric details, results of security checks and logs of historical access usage Allows users to create spatial hierarchy of locations (sites), the underlying buildings, floors and associated areas for better access management Provides a central location to search and assign access levels for an identity across disparate physical access control systems (PACS) and specify details such as time schedule of access (24x7, business hours) Enables employees to make multiple physical security requests, such as new physical access requests and badge requests, using a self-service portal Aggregates access level information from disparate PACS and allows users to manage additional details typically not available in PACS, such as risk level, area owner, multiple approvers and pre-requisites for access (such as training for critical areas) Allows creation of access profiles, which automates assigning physical access using common identity attributes such as role, location and  department Allows authorised personnel to immediately terminate physical access of identities, using urgent termination, avoiding termination delays by HR personnel Maintains a complete audit trail of all transactions executed within the system and between HID SAFE Enterprise and external systems Delivers pre-defined reports based on access records and logs of identities for compliance reporting and security planning 

New MIFARE DESFire EV3 Credential from HID
New MIFARE DESFire EV3 Credential from HID

HID Global, the worldwide leader in trusted identity solutions, has announced the most feature-rich implementation of the latest MIFARE DESFire EV3 credential. This new access control credential based on NXP MIFARE DESFire EV3 delivers this technology’s full range of advanced security and privacy capabilities and reinforces them with HID’s powerful model for identity data protection. This HID credential provides AES128 encryption, a secure channel for protecting card data from man-in-the-middle attacks, and a random unique identifier (UID) for protecting user privacy. The credential works with readers based on MIFARE DESFire EV1 and EV2 products and is interoperable with HID® Signo™, iCLASS SE®, and multiCLASS SE® readers. In addition to choosing standard or custom security profiles to meet their specific needs, users can take advantage of HID’s Secure Identity Object™ (SIO®) model that protects a credential’s identity data through key diversification, authentication signatures, and encryption. Users can create multi-technology cards with HID’s credential based on NXP MIFARE DESFire EV3 to provide a smooth migration path from vulnerable legacy, low-frequency 125 kHz-based systems to modern and secure credential technology. What are the benefits of HID Global’s MIFARE DESFire EV3 credential solution? Feature-rich security that offers profile choices to fit your needs Advanced security features that aren’t available elsewhere, such as modern encryption, mutual  authentication and secure messaging and SIOs Key management and card formatting that adhere to the highest standards of data protection and governance Click here for more information.

HID Global’s iCLASS SE Platform expanded to include Credential Encoding Solution
HID Global’s iCLASS SE Platform expanded to include Credential Encoding Solution

The new iCLASS SE Encoder, a desktop solution and developer toolkit (DTK) from HID Global enables organisations to encode and instantly issue cards using a single device. The multi-technology encoder makes it easier for customers to migrate from current technologies to the higher security, adaptability and portability of the company’s iCLASS SE access control platform. The solution gives organisations the convenience of encoding a broad range of current and future technologies, with the option for customers to create and manage keys and configure readers locally or through HID Global’s iCLASS and SE Elite programme. “Migrating current systems to operate with our iCLASS SE platform has never been easier with the new iCLASS Encoder that empowers customers to encode and format an extensive range of credential technologies, on demand, through an easy and straightforward process,” said Helmut Dansachmueller, vice president of product marketing, credentials and embedded technologies with HID Global. “HID Global’s goal with the encoder is to give users the technology flexibility and confidence in their access control systems investments as they move to high frequency and future technologies.”   The iCLASS SE Encoder provides an entirely open solution and that allows organisations to encode multiple credential technologies, including both genuine HID and third-party credentials, in order to upgrade existing card populations for use with iCLASS SE platform readers. For maximum interoperability, the solution supports Seos, iCLASS SE, standard iCLASS, MIFARE Classic and MIFARE DESFire EV1. The encoder also supports 125 MHz HID Prox for encoding Prox credentials as well as migrating from HID Prox to high frequency technologies. Users can seamlessly and easily migrate from one technology to another by simply extracting access control data from an existing card and writing it to the new credential, without having to manually input data or understand encoding details. For even higher security, users can “wrap” their access control data within a Secure Identity Object (SIO) and then write it back to the same card.  Based on open architecture, the encoder enables SIOs to be added to the full range of supported cards, including MIFARE and DESFire credentials. The HID Global Developer Tool Kit (DTK) for the iCLASS SE Encoder Platform is designed for systems integrators, OEM’s and solution providers who wish to integrate contactless encoding capabilities into their products and leverage the advantages of the iCLASS SE ecosystem. Key features: Programme standard security or Elite credentials Securely manage credential keys Multiple format support Programme Genuine HID or third-party credentials by downloading appropriate Encoder Credits Developer Tool Kit (DTK) provides all the necessary tools, documentation and developer resources to allow integration of the iCLASS SE Encoder into third party applications. HID Global is also introducing a flexible credential encoding applet structure that is based on an easy-to-manage credit system. Users install only the applets they require for the technology credentials they currently need, and can add applets to support other existing or future technology credentials over time. In addition, the iCLASS SE Encoder is field-programmable and upgradeable for added versatility.   The encoder is part of HID Global’s award-winning iCLASS SE platform, which empowers users to implement a combination of credential technology, traditional smart cards and smartphones that meet the specific needs of their access control system. HID Global also plans to offer credential encoding capabilities via its FARGO printer line and its HID Secure Identity Services portal.
