Credentials
Card technologies
Why this matters
Access credentials are evolving from encrypted smart cards to cryptographic identities and mobile wallet credentials. Choosing the right reader hardware today is important to ensure long-term flexibility.
Legacy RFID
Static card IDs with no encryption — easily cloned.
MIFARE DESFire
AES-encrypted smart cards with mutual authentication between card and reader.
PKI Credentials
Asymmetric cryptography (PIV, PKOC) — each credential holds a unique private key.
Mobile & Aliro
Device-based cryptographic identity for secure, interoperable mobile access.
| Technology | Security Model | Authentication | Examples | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Legacy RFID | Static identifier (UID) | Reader reads card ID | 125 kHz Prox cards | Older access systems |
| Secure Smart Cards | Symmetric encryption (AES) | Mutual authentication using shared keys | MIFARE DESFire | Corporate access control |
| PKI Credentials | Asymmetric cryptography | Challenge-response using private key | PIV, PKOC | High-security environments |
| Mobile Credentials | Device-based cryptographic identity | Secure device authentication | Aliro, Mobile Wallet | Next-generation access |
Reader capabilities
Supporting today and tomorrow
Because credential technologies evolve over time, reader infrastructure plays a critical role in long-term flexibility. Modern multi-technology readers can support multiple credential types simultaneously.
MIFARE DESFire
AES-encrypted smart cards — the current standard for secure physical access.
PKI Credentials
Asymmetric cryptography for high-security environments like PIV and PKOC.
Mobile & Aliro
Device-based credentials and emerging interoperable mobile access standards.
Future-ready by design — By choosing readers that support both today's DESFire credentials and tomorrow's PKI or mobile standards, organizations ensure their access control system remains secure, adaptable, and future-ready.
