Overview
HID Corporation is part of the ASSA ABLOY Identification Technology
Group.
As the largest manufacturer of contactless access control readers
and cards for the security industry, HID has shipped over 200 million
credentials to customers worldwide. HID pioneered the development
of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for physical
access control. Proximity and iCLASS technologies can be housed
on the same credential and combined with other technologies such
as magnetic stripe, barcode, or contact smart chip modules. This
provides users the ability to leverage their investment in existing
systems while seamlessly upgrading to new technologies and adding
new applications.
As interest in IT secure authentication and other smart chip
applications increases, HID's credential remains the platform of
choice to carry multiple applications. HID multi-technology credentials
can be used throughout organizations to leverage the investment
in existing systems, while providing for enhanced functionality
in other areas.
For increased security, users can add a photo ID or anti-counterfeiting
element such as a hologram or ultraviolet ink. HID's experience
in developing card technologies enables them to play a critical
role in the evolution and adoption of contactless smart card technology
used for applications such as access control, IT secure authentication,
digital cash, the storage of biometric templates, and the storage
and retrieval of critical information.
