Crescendo® C1150 Series

Out-of-box smart card for converged access (logical and physical access control) for immediate deployments with Microsoft mini-driver based applications as well as HID's ActivIdentity products.

Overview
Crescendo C1150 Series Smart Cards
The Crescendo® C1150 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 meet corporate and/or government deployments.

Offering out-of-the-box, standards-compliant support for network and computer access (such as login to workstations and laptops or web-based applications requiring cryptographically protected operation), the C1150 delivers a cost-effective solution that also eliminates the need for the cardholder to carry multiple credentials or remember multiple passwords and PINs. It also serves as an employee ID and access control for buildings.

For physical access, the cards are available in a variety of RFID interfaces to accommodate the majority of physical access requirements, ensuring maximum interoperability with existing and future deployments.

The smart card leverages 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.

The Crescendo C1150 is ideal for organizations that are not yet using a card management system and comes pre-loaded with an electrical profile ready to use with Microsoft-based applications as well as Actividentity ActivClient®, and 4TRESS®.
