Crescendo® C1100 Series

Open and standard-based smart card for Identity Assurance Solution.

Overview 
Crescendo C1100 Series Smart Cards
The Crescendo® C1100 is a credit card-sized smart card for strong authentication and physical access control. It provides a multi-application and multi-technology platform designed to address a variety of enterprise and government deployments requiring a generic, converged smart card.

Offering out-of-the-box, standards-compliant support for network and computer access (login to workstations and laptops or web-based applications requiring cryptographically protected operation), the C1100 is a cost-effective solution that also eliminates the need for the cardholder to carry multiple credentials or remember multiple passwords and PINs.

The C1100 can also be used as an employee ID badge as well as for access control to buildings. The cards are available in a variety of RFID interfaces to accommodate the majority of physical access control requirements, ensuring maximum interoperability with existing and future deployments.

The smart card is ideal for organizations seeking a white card to use with ActivID® card management system (CMS) or by any third- party CMS. ActivID CMS provisions the cards with an electrical profile interoperable with a variety of applications such as Personal Identification Verification (PIV) and Commercial Identity Verification (CIV), Microsoft-based applications as well as ActivClient®, naviGO® and 4TRESS®.

The Crescendo C1100 is interoperable with the HID Global's open and portable ActivIdentity® Applet Framework for Javacard-based devices. This framework delivers standard-based services for password protection, digital identity credentials for signature and encryption, cryptographic functions based on symmetric and asymmetric keys, personal information and network access.

Benefits:

Generic card platform for Digital Identity assurance with support for a variety of logical and physical access applications
Supports for HID Global's Security Identity Object™ (SIO) data model and strengthened security
Standard-based solution: Implementation according to JavaCard and Global platform specifications
Contact-only and hybrid card configuration for ISO/IEC 7816 protocol support as well as proximity (125 KHz) and/or ISO/IEC 14443/15693 (respectively MIFARE®/ iCLASS®). cards are available with multiple technology combinations that include iCLASS, Proximity (HID and Indala), MIFARE Classic, MIFARE DESFire® EV1 and combinations thereof. Other RFID combinations based on other technologies can be supported on demand.
