HID Global, leader in solutions for the delivery of secure identity, recently launched its “next generation” access control readers and creÂdentials based on the company's new iCLASS SIO technology-enabled (SE) platform. This platform initiates a significant transformation in how secure identity is delivered and managed by introducing technology-independent digital credentials that can be deployed for use on smart phones, microÂproÂcessor-based cards, contactless smart cards, USB tokens and related devices.
The iCLASS SE platform is an essential building block in the access control industry's first Near Field Communication (NFC)-enabled mobile identity and access management solutions, now being devÂeÂloped by the company's various global partners. The new access control platform extends physical access control beyond traditional cards and readÂers to enable deployment of mobile access with digital credentials.
“iCLASS SE provides a standards-based platÂform for implementing exciting new applications for NFC-enabled mobile phones,” said Dr. Selva Selvaratnam, Senior Vice President and CTO with HID Global.
Technical Details: iCLASS SE platform is basÂed on a combination of Secure Identity Object (SIO) technology on the credential side and the SIO ProcessorTM on the reader side which perform simÂilar functions to traÂditional cards and readers, except they use a staÂndards-based, technology-indepÂendÂent and fleÂxible identity data structure that provides new level of security, portability and performance.
HID Global's Trusted Identity Platform® (TIPTM) framework is designed to support a secure and trusÂted boundary for cryptographic key delivery in SIO technology-based access control applications. SIO digital credentials also support data authenticity and privacy while inhibiting data cloning by binding information to a specific credential for additional authentication and encryption on top of device-specific security.
Tools for Developers: HID Global has introÂduced the SIO ProcessorTM Developer Tool Kit (DTK) for developing products to the iCLASS SE platform.
