Zwipe incorporates fingerprint technology inside HID cards

International. Zwipe announced that users of HID Global's iCLASS and 125kHz ProxCard can now integrate the Zwipe Access biometric card, eliminating the need to add biometric readers to an existing HID Global system based on iClass or Prox.

By providing authorized users with Zwipe Access biometric cards that work with existing 125 kHz iCLASS and ProxCard readers, those organizations can incorporate the card into their existing systems in the same way they already incorporate proximity or HID Global smart cards.

With Zwipe's authentication technology built into the card, only the authorized cardholder can activate card communication with the reader. This means that identification credentials for access can no longer be lent.

Zwipe's biometric authentication technology employs an on-board fingerprint scanner, with 3D capacitive technology residing on the contactless smart card using a 13.56MHz or 125kHz HID Global iCLASS transponder.

The Zwipe biometric card is also compatible with MIFARE Classic and DESFIRE EV1.
