Credentials We Support
Smart Cards
Contain an embedded microprocessor or memory chip that enables secure data storage, encryption, and advanced functionality. They are widely used for secure access control, multi-factor authentication, and contactless payment applications, offering a higher level of security compared to basic credentials.
Proximity Cards
Use low-frequency (125 kHz) RFID technology to transmit a unique ID to a reader for access control. These cards are read-only, making them simple and cost-effective for basic security applications but less secure due to vulnerability with cloning.
NFC Credentials
Operate at high frequency (13.56 MHz) and support two-way encrypted communication for secure access and transactions. These credentials are popular for mobile access, contactless payments, and secure entry systems requiring close-range interactions.
Bluetooth® Credentials
Communicate across longer distances, up to 30 feet, using low-energy Bluetooth signals. They are ideal for hands-free or proximity-based access applications, offering convenience and flexibility in modern environments like offices or parking systems.
Passkeys
Replaces traditional passwords with cryptographic key pairs for a secure, passwordless login experience. Synced across devices or device-bound for enhanced security, passkeys are phishing-resistant and are quickly becoming a standard in authentication for organizations prioritizing security and user convenience.
Make the Move to Secure Today
As threats to identity systems increase over time, outdated or unsecure credential management practices can unintentionally expose organizations to unauthorized access and costly consequences. Transitioning to secure, modern authentication solutions safeguards valuable information, builds trust, and strengthens overall organizational resilience. Make the move to more secure logical access today with rf IDEAS.
