Irvine, CA-based HID Global, the secure identity specialist, reports the launch of its Rijkspas-compliant ICLASS smart card reader, designed for Dutch government agencies adopting MIFARE DESFire EV1 smart card technology.
The reader features DESFire EV1 technology and advanced encryption standard (AES) to protect data transfer between the credential and reader, as required by the Rijkspas specification.
The reader enables government entities to utilize their existing card population while migrating to the new Dutch Rijkspas, HID Global notes.
"The extension of our iCLASS reader architecture further demonstrates the company’s ongoing commitment to meeting government standards, programs and initiatives worldwide,” Brad Jarvis, vice president, product marketing, HID Global, said in a statement.
