HID’s FlexSmart MIFARE offerings encompass the industry’s broadest range of open standard contactless smart card products. HID MIFARE is a credit card-sized credential ideal for diverse applications such as access control, cashless vending, public transportation, corporate and campus applications, event ticketing, customer loyalty and photo ID cards.

Manufactured to the highest quality standards, HID MIFARE credentials have the memory structure and capacity to store multiple applications on a single credential. Securely separated sectors, each protected by a set of two keys and programmable access conditions, allow complex applications and provide for future expansion. The data on the card is protected with encryption keys used in the mutual authentication process. Therefore, no important data will be shared until the card and reader have been authenticated to each other.

When security and performance count most, HID’s FlexSmart MIFARE cards can be produced with visual security and anti-counterfeiting features such as holograms, ultra-violet fluorescent inks, micro-printing or a custom logo to quickly and easily identify genuine cards.
