Phishing-Resistant MFA and PIV Smart Card with Legacy Prox and Magstripe Support
The HID Crescendo C2300 Dual Interface Smart Card with Prox is a comprehensive security credential combining modern digital identity assurance with legacy access compatibility. Built for environments adopting Zero Trust frameworks, this credential supports Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and PIV-compatible smart card login, while also including HID Prox® technology and a blue magstripe for swipe-based systems.
