With the same format as a standard card, Zwipe ID(c) is targeted towards mainstream
Access Control security systems. The Zwipe ID(c) card will be launched at the ISC West
[http://www.iscwest.com ] tradeshow April 6-8 at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas.
Designed to work within regular MIFARE DESFire and MIFARE Classic Access Control
systems provided by integrators around the world, the fully self-contained fingerprint
system is used to identify the legitimate card owner.
"We are very excited to be releasing Zwipe ID(c) as it is a highly sought after
addition to our award winning biometric credential platform," said Kim Kristian Humborstad,
CEO of Zwipe. "Zwipe ID(c) reflects the ultimate convergence of technologies providing
convenient and secure two factor authentication on one personal device."
Zwipe ID(c) includes an integrated biometric sensor and utilizes Zwipe's patent
pending biometric authentication technology to allow capture of the users fingerprint and
to securely maintain the cardholder's data on the device. The ability to harvest energy
from already installed Access Control readers not only eliminates the need for a battery,
but also avoids costly reader replacement.
Zwipe ID(c) cards can be issued in any situation where verification of the card
holders identity is essential, from pharmacies to data centers and front doors to vending
machines. Zwipe ID(c) offers superior balance between convenience and security and can be
integrated without replacing a single Access Control reader. Simple on-card enrollment
allows for immediate implementation of two-factor authentication for Mifare and DESFire
based access systems, both physical and logical.
"The demand for convenient and secure on-card biometric credentials has grown
exponentially and I am delighted to bring this product to the market," said Bob Fee, N.A
Director of Sales. "Between our two access control product lines, Zwipe Access and Zwipe
ID(c), we expand our ability to support a much wider market reaching even deeper into
corporate environments, educational markets and governmental identification
applications."Â
Zwipe is the industry leader in biometrics credentials for the Access Control industry
with it's Zwipe Access product installed at several high security facilities in North and
South America and Europe. The Zwipe ID(c) will be available through Zwipe's network of
resellers starting April 6th 2016.
