HID Releases OMNIKEY Secure Element
♦ HID releases OMNIKEY Secure Element, integrating RFID-based security technology into connected solutions.
HID said its OMNIKEY Secure Element will succeed the iCLASS SE Processor and is the first step toward consolidating and optimizing its desktop reader and reader module offering to create a unified, embedded and desktop product portfolio.
OMNIKEY Secure Element provides wider integration capabilities than the iCLASS SE Processor while retaining compatibility with it at an API level for a straightforward migration. It adds support for credential technologies including mobile IDs and employee badges in Apple Wallet, while enabling current and emerging secure access identification and authentication applications ranging from locker management to electric vehicle charging.
The single-chip OMNIKEY Secure Element represents a safe key for leveraging all the advantages of Seos credential technology, such as multi-application converged access on mobile phones. It also supports other technologies from HID Global, such as iCLASS, and can be used for other card protocols such as MIFARE DESFire, and is designed to deliver seamless security extensions for reader devices across applications like secure print and time and attendance that span multiple smart facilities.
The OMNIKEY Platform provides multi-layer security that extends beyond the card technology for additional protection to identity data. It enables the use of NFC smartphones and other devices for mobile access utilizing iCLASS and Seos credentials. A developer’s tool kit provides resources that facilitate fast and easy integration and extends access to the HID developer community.
It feature’s field-updatable firmware, including support for existing credential technologies, such as standard iCLASS and Seos, and firmware is field-upgradeable to address evolving market requirements. OMNIKEY technology saves power by hibernating when not in use.
