HID Global Showcases Its Secure Identity Object Technology for Embedding Identities into Mobile Devices at IFSEC India 2011

HID Global, trusted leader in solutions for the delivery of secure identity, is continuing its drive to deliver innovative products and solutions from the 8th to the 10th of December at IFSEC India 2011. The company will showcase its new readers and credentials as part of HID’s next-generation iCLASS SIO-Enabled™ (SE) access control platform that is based on the company’s new, portable identity model for advanced security, increased mobility and enhanced performance. The new, portable identity model revolutionizes the implementation of high security readers and credentials while enabling the use of digital credentials on mobile devices.



HID Global will also showcase a variety of solutions for physical access, logical access and secure issuance at hall 18, booth #A160 at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. Key demonstrations at IFSEC India 2011 include:



· The Next Generation of Access Control: iCLASS® SE platform is designed to raise the bar for card-to-reader security, while enabling the use of multiple form factors (smartphones, microprocessor-based cards, contactless smart cards and other devices), and delivering superior performance, enhanced usability and increased environmental sustainability.



· Printing and Encoding Solutions: including HID’s FARGO® high definition (HDP) and direct-to-card printer/encoders. The printers produce reliable, professional quality, personalized color ID cards and security encoding all in one pass. Asure ID® 7 photo card software with enhanced user experience and added functionality designed to extend ease of use, convenience and productivity.


· Logical Access Solutions: HID Global’s logical access solutions are designed to deliver convenience for the user, simplicity for the IT manager and a higher level of logical access security for the organization. The single credential can be used as a photo ID badge, as a “key” that opens doors and as a second authentication factor for logging into the IT infrastructure. It allows organizations to leverage existing physical access cards to deploy an additional layer of security using smart card technology.



· Migration Solutions: The latest migration readers enable organizations to bridge the gap between legacy solutions and secure 13.56 MHz MIFARE™, DESFire® EV1 and iCLASS® contactless technologies and deploy multiple applications on single credential.



· Networked Access Solutions: HID Global's networked access solutions, including EDGE® and VertX® networked access controllers. Designed to meet the demands of open architecture, IP-centric environments, the controllers can be configured for a variety of access control applications.
