HID® Global’s Seos® Essential card is a simple, single-application card designed to be an economical solution for everyday implementations of secure physical access control.
Seos Essential cards provide trusted management of secure identities within the SIO-enabled HID Signo and iCLASS SE reader platforms. This powerful credential technology is built to deliver superior data integrity and privacy protection by leveraging the latest cryptographic algorithms and security techniques. Additionally, a secure messaging protocol is also used to protect data transmission between card and reader.
Key Features
●Highly secure – Seos is Secure Identity Object® (SIO)-enabled, allowing for multi-layered security beyond the card technology and protecting identity data from unauthorized access.
●Single-application – A cost effective and simplified approach designed for traditional access control solutions where more complex multi-application implementations are not needed.
●Heightened privacy protection – Seos offers best-in-class data and privacy protection by incorporating mutual authentication and secure messaging mechanisms into stringent best practices for data protection.
