ICT ISO
Graphic Printable Card

The thin design allows the card to be carried with credit cards in a wallet or purse. Use with a badge holder and strap clip or lanyard for an attractive photo ID badge.

ISO cards are strong, flexible and resistant to damage. A passive, no battery design ensures a long life with an infinite number of reads.

The PVC card surface is optimized for dye sublimation printing, allowing you to customize cards with your own text or graphics artwork.

Print photo ID directly to the card with a direct image or thermal transfer printer.

A range of ordering options for true flexibility, including:

• Custom artwork (text or graphics)
• External card numbering (laser engraving)
• Magnetic stripe
• Contact smart chip module

Migration from legacy and less secure low frequency 125kHz technology can be easily achieved using dual technology DESFire cards that incorporate both high and low frequency card inlays. This allows organizations to transition to smart readers at their own pace.

The latest addition to the MIFARE DESFire product family, MIFARE DESFire EV3 offers even more advanced hardware and software implementation on a brand new internal chip, and combines enhanced performance with a greater operating distance and improved transaction speed compared to its predecessors.

Based on global open standards for both air interface and cryptographic methods, it uses the same security certification level as IC products used for banking cards and electronic passports. Featuring an on-chip backup management system and mutual three-pass authentication, EV3 supports confidential and integrity-protected communication with secure dynamic messaging and mirroring.

• Fully compliant with the international standard ISO/IEC 14443 Type A 1-4 and ISO/IEC 7816-4
• Common Criteria EAL5+ security certified for IC hardware and software
• NFC Forum Tag Type 4 certified
• Secure, high speed command set
• Unique 7-byte serial number
• Choice of open DES/2K3DES/3K3DES/AES crypto algorithms
• Open AES 128 bit crypto algorithm in hardware
• Fully interoperable with existing NFC reader infrastructure
• Transaction timer mitigates risk of man-in-the-middle attacks
• Backwards compatible with all previous MIFARE DESFire generations

ICT Secured MIFARE is ICT’s implementation of the MIFARE standard. Credential data is protected with a diversified authentication key and encrypted with an AES 256 algorithm, effectively plugging the known security flaw in the MIFARE standard.

125kHz technology offers a lower level of security but a good read range and short read time due to the lower power requirement and the small amount of data being transmitted. This allows users to simply present, swipe or wave their card in the general direction of the reader to achieve a successful read.
