Zwipe has integrated its Zwipe Access biometric card with HID Global’s iCLASS and 125kHz ProxCard.
The integration of Zwipe Access biometric cards with iCLASS and 125 kHz ProxCard readers allows organizations to extend the life of their existing infrastructure while simultaneously increasing its security, according to the companies.
Zwipe’s on-card fingerprint scanner with 3D capacitive technology resides on the contactless smart card that utilizes an embedded HID Global 13.56MHz iCLASS or 125kHz Proximity transponder. The Zwipe biometric card is also compatible with MIFARE Classic and DESFIRE EV1.
With Zwipe’s patented on-card authentication technology, only the authorized cardholder can activate card communication with the reader. Additionally, problems associated with PINs and passwords are eliminated through the use of Zwipe’s biometric authentication technology, the company claims.
