HID® Global’s Seos® Essential + Prox card is designed to be an economical solution that enables security system owners to migrate from legacy, low-frequency 125kHz-based systems, to a modern and secure credential technology.
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 – Like all Seos credentials, Seos Essential is Secure Identity Object® (SIO)-enabled, which allows for multi-layered security beyond card technology and the protection of identity data from unauthorized access.
●Simplified, cost-effective migration – Support for read/write identification is provided using 125 kHz contactless technology to enable migration from legacy 125 kHz credential technologies.
●Heightened privacy protection – Seos Essential offers best-in-class data and privacy protection by incorporating mutual authentication and secure messaging mechanisms into stringent best practices for data protection.
