HID Crescendo® C2300 Dual Interface Smart Card (Gloss Front, Crescendo Bug Back with Blue Magstripe)
Phishing-Resistant MFA and PIV Smart Card with Enhanced Branding and Legacy Support
The HID Crescendo C2300 Dual Interface Smart Card delivers government-grade authentication for modern enterprises adopting Zero Trust principles. With a FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certified chip and both contact and contactless interfaces, it enables strong Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and PIV-compatible identity verification across IT systems and secure facilities.
This version features a gloss-finished front for professional on-site personalisation, and a back surface printed with the official Crescendo security bug, along with a blue magnetic stripe for legacy swipe-based systems such as time and attendance or older access readers. Designed to resist phishing attacks and credential theft, it stores PKI certificates, supports digital signatures, and enables smart card logon to Windows and cloud environments.
Additionally, the C2300 can be custom-bundled with HID’s Physical Access Technologies—including Seos®, iCLASS SE®, and Prox—offering a unified credential across logical and physical access systems. Contact us directly to discuss hybrid configurations and deployment options.
