Card Technology Overview
MIFARE® is a 13.56 MHz contactless technology family of microprocessors developed by Philips. MIFARE is the most
common contactless chipset on the market and is used in many applications around the globe. It is an ISO 14443
product that ensures compatibility with future products. Cards can be purchased that contain memory up to 32k bits,
a capacity robust enough to process the largest biometric templates while still incorporating other applications.
Smart Card credentials are typically credit card sized credentials containing an embedded processor chip with a
memory capacity approximately 800 times that of a magnetic stripe card. Most smart card systems have the capacity
to both read and write information to the card from the reader or panel, providing better data security while creating
much greater fexibility for use in various applications. Smart Card credentials can be Contact or Contactless. Contact
cards are similar in operation to mag-stripe cards in that they must be swiped or inserted into a reader to be read.
They are recognizable by the gold chip visible on the outside of the card (which must make contact with the reader).
Contactless cards utilize RFID technology, which may appear identical in operation to a proximity card to the average
user. However, contactless smart cards have 100 times the information storage capacity, work on a different RF
frequency and have far greater data security than a traditional proximity card.
Ingersoll Rand's contactless smart credentials put you in control by delivering smarter solutions. These credentials
protect your most sensitive data by utilizing extra layers of security protection, and can be used for many other
applications including transit, cashless vending, and cafeteria point of sale.
Contactless smart credentials by XceedID operate on a 13.56 MHz frequency and utilize high security encrypted data,
which is mutually authenticated in communication between the card and reader, providing optimum security.
XceedID offers the choice of 2.5k, 8k, 16k, 32k, and 64k bits of storage, which will meet the most demanding
storage requirements.
aptiQ™ Smart Cards from Ingersoll Rand put you in control by delivering smarter solutions. The credential
utilizes extra layers of security protection – mutual authentication, AES 128-bit diversified key encryption, and
message authentication coding (MAC), giving the highest security in the industry to each transaction between the
contactless smart credential and reader.
