HID Crescendo® 144K FIPS Contact Smart Card

HID Crescendo® 144K FIPS Contact Smart Card

Phishing-Resistant MFA and PIV Smart Card for Zero Trust Environments

The HID Crescendo 144K FIPS Contact-Only Smart Card is a high-assurance identity credential purpose-built for secure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and PIV-based login across enterprise and government networks. Featuring a FIPS 201-certified chip, it enables smart card logon, digital signatures, email encryption, and access to certificate-protected systems—all essential elements for organisations embracing Zero Trust architecture.

Engineered to resist phishing attacks and credential theft, this smart card stores digital certificates and cryptographic keys securely within its onboard 144K EEPROM chip. It integrates seamlessly into Microsoft Windows, PKI infrastructures, and other identity ecosystems that require contact smart cards.

While this model features contact-only functionality, it can be bundled with HID’s full portfolio of Physical Access Technology formats, including Seos®, iCLASS SE®, and Prox. These custom configurations allow for unified access control across digital and physical environments. Contact us directly to explore bundling and hybrid card options.
