HID Crescendo® 4000 FIDO Contactless-Only Smart Card – Blank, with Unmarked CUID & DESFire® EV3
Passwordless, Phishing-Resistant FIDO Credential with Secure Contactless Access and No Visual Markings
The HID Crescendo 4000 Contactless-Only Smart Card delivers modern passwordless authentication and secure physical access in a single, streamlined credential. Designed for Zero Trust environments, it supports FIDO2 and FIDO U2F protocols for phishing-resistant Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)—enabling users to log in with a simple tap, without passwords or drivers.
This configuration includes both a CUID and an integrated MIFARE DESFire® EV3 chip for contactless physical access, transit, or closed-loop payment systems—both unmarked for clean aesthetics, visual anonymity, or secure issuance workflows. The DESFire EV3 component supports AES encryption, mutual authentication, secure messaging, and file-level control, making it ideal for high-security access control environments.
Delivered blank, the card is ready for custom branding, printing, and encoding. It integrates natively with identity platforms such as Azure AD, Okta, Google Workspace, Ping, and Duo. For broader compatibility, this card can be bundled with HID Seos®, iCLASS SE®, or Prox® technologies. Contact us to configure your deployment.
