Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What are HID iCLASS High Frequency Migration Readers?
HID iCLASS High Frequency Migration Readers are built on HID Global's world-leading iCLASS reader architecture and are designed to support the ever-expanding range of credential technologies. They allow organizations to migrate from legacy credentials to modern high-frequency smart card technologies without replacing existing infrastructure.
Q2. What credential technologies do HID High Frequency Migration Readers support?
These readers provide simultaneous support for MIFARE DESFire EV1 (including AES encryption), HID iCLASS, MIFARE Classic, ISO 14443 and ISO 15693 CSN, and HID Prox — enabling convenient credential migration strategies across multiple technology generations.
Q3. What is MIFARE DESFire EV1 and why is it significant?
MIFARE DESFire EV1 is the latest secure NXP contactless smart card credential technology featuring advanced AES cryptographic features. It joins iCLASS as a leading secure smart card technology, and its support in HID Migration Readers allows organizations to adopt the strongest available credential security.
Q4. What is the SAM in HID High Frequency Migration Readers?
The Secure Access Module (SAM) is an embedded security component that stores encryption key information and processes encryption and key diversification algorithms. It provides a hardware-based security layer that protects credentials from unauthorized access and cloning.
Q5. Are HID High Frequency Migration Readers suitable for phased credential upgrades?
Yes. Because these readers simultaneously support both legacy (HID Prox, MIFARE Classic) and modern (DESFire EV1, iCLASS) credential technologies, organizations can deploy them before completing credential replacement, enabling a phased, non-disruptive migration strategy.
