HID’s iCLASS™ SE™ Processor offers a highly secure, standards-based, technology-independent and flexible identity data structure based on Secure Identity Object (SIO), a new open credential standard. HID's iCLASS™ SE™ Processor sits on top of all existing card technology and supports the interpretation and authentication of the SIO data structure to increase overall system security; it also supports key emerging technologies, delivering superior performance and enhanced usability. The iCLASS SE Processor supports new SIO-enabled credentials based on a variety of technologies, such as iCLASS™ SE™, iCLASS™ Elite®, iCLASS™ Seos™ and MIFARE™ Classic. As a virtualized interpreter, the iCLASS SE processor enables reader manufacturers, developers and system integrators to quickly and easily integrate SIO and HID's Trusted Identity Platform™ (TIP) into their devices, providing a device- and technology-independent layer of additional security on top of device-specific security that acts as a digital data wrapper for additional key diversification, authentication and encryption. It can also be configured to support standard iCLASS™, providing compatibility with existing installations or card deployments. The iCLASS™ SE™ Processor allows developers to easily embed it into a new reader design utilizing the surface mount technology chip, or integrate it into an existing reader design /infrastructure using the convenient pre-packaged ID-1/ID-000 card.
