HID Crescendo® 3000 FIDO + DESFire® EV2 8K (Blank)
Passwordless, Phishing-Resistant FIDO Smart Card with Secure Contactless Access
The HID Crescendo 3000 Smart Card is a next-generation passwordless authentication solution that combines FIDO2, PKI (PIV-compatible), and MIFARE DESFire® EV2 8K contactless technology in a single, powerful credential. Built to support Zero Trust architectures and modern identity-first security models, it enables both phishing-resistant Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and seamless physical access control.
The Crescendo 3000 supports FIDO2/WebAuthn for passwordless desktop and web authentication, alongside certificate-based login (PIV) for smart card authentication, digital signatures, and email encryption. Its embedded non-programmable DESFire EV2 8K chip enables secure access to buildings, print/cashless systems, and NFC-compatible infrastructure—protected by AES encryption and secure file structures.
This blank version offers a white, unpersonalised surface ready for custom branding or printing. It's ideal for organisations consolidating credentials into a single card for both logical and physical access. For larger rollouts, this card can also be custom-bundled with HID’s physical access formats, including Seos®, iCLASS SE®, and Prox.
