Phishing-Resistant MFA and PIV Smart Card for Zero Trust Access with Legacy Compatibility
The Crescendo 144K FIPS Smart Card with MIFARE DESFire EV3 and Magstripe from HID Global is a high-assurance smart card that supports modern Zero Trust security models while remaining compatible with legacy infrastructure. Combining a FIPS 201-certified contact chip, MIFARE DESFire EV3 contactless technology, and a magnetic stripe, this tri-interface card enables secure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for logical access and robust physical access control.
Perfect for enterprises and government bodies, this phishing-resistant card supports PIV-based smart card login, digital signatures, and encrypted communications. The MIFARE DESFire EV3 element provides advanced contactless access with AES encryption, file-level control, and secure messaging. The magstripe ensures legacy system compatibility for applications such as time and attendance or older door controllers.
These cards can also be bundled with HID’s broader range of Physical Access Technologies, including Seos®, iCLASS SE®, and Prox card formats, to support unified access ecosystems. To explore these custom configurations, please contact us directly for tailored options and guidance.
