HID Crescendo® C2300 Dual Interface Smart Card with MIFARE DESFire® EV1 8K & Magstripe
Phishing-Resistant MFA and PIV Smart Card with Secure Contactless and Legacy Access Support
The HID Crescendo C2300 Smart Card with MIFARE DESFire® EV1 8K and Magstripe is a high-assurance credential that unifies secure digital identity, advanced physical access, and legacy swipe functionality into a single, durable form factor. Featuring a FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certified smart chip, this dual-interface card supports Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), PIV-compatible workflows, and enterprise-grade Zero Trust deployment strategies.
With native support for phishing-resistant smart card login, PKI certificate storage, digital signatures, and encryption, the Crescendo C2300 ensures strong protection for both logical and physical access environments. The embedded MIFARE DESFire EV1 8K chip enables AES-encrypted contactless access control, while the integrated magstripe provides backwards compatibility for legacy systems such as time & attendance terminals or swipe door controllers.
This version is blank for custom printing, making it ideal for organisations looking to personalise cards in-house or via bureau services. It can also be bundled with HID’s full suite of Physical Access Technologies—including Seos®, iCLASS SE®, and Prox—to create a unified identity credential.
