HID Crescendo® 144K FIPS Contact Smart Card with Magstripe
Phishing-Resistant MFA and PIV Smart Card with Legacy Magstripe Support
The Crescendo 144K FIPS Contact-Only Smart Card with Magstripe is a secure identity credential designed for high-assurance environments requiring strong Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), PIV-based smart card login, and support for Zero Trust architecture. Featuring a FIPS 201-certified cryptographic chip and integrated magnetic stripe, this dual-technology card supports both secure digital identity and legacy physical access applications.
Built to protect against phishing attacks and credential theft, the card enables secure workstation logon, digital signatures, email encryption, and storage of PKI certificates within its 144K EEPROM. The magstripe provides backward compatibility for systems such as older door controllers, time and attendance, and swipe-based authentication terminals.
This card can also be custom-bundled with HID’s Physical Access Technology platforms, including Seos®, iCLASS SE®, and Prox. This allows organisations to unify digital and physical access using a single, hybrid credential. Contact us directly to discuss custom configurations and secure deployment options.
