An iCLASS card is a type of secure access control card created by HID Global. It's a step up from older proximity cards in terms of security and functionality. Here's a breakdown of what you should know about iCLASS cards: Security: hid proximity cards Encryption: Unlike basic HID proximity cards , iCLASS cards encrypt the data transmitted between the card and the reader. This makes it much harder for someone to steal your access information. Mutual Authentication: Both the card and the reader verify each other's identity before granting access. This adds another layer of security compared to simpler systems. Advanced Encryption: Newer versions of iCLASS cards, like iCLASS Seos, use even stronger encryption methods for even better protection. Functionality: Beyond Access Control: While access control is a primary use, iCLASS cards can be used for many other things.
