HID® iCLASS SE® smart cards represent the next generation of secure access control credentials, delivering advanced protection, flexibility, and multi-technology support for modern security environments. Built on HID’s Secure Identity Object® (SIO®) platform, iCLASS SE cards provide an added layer of encryption and data protection that goes beyond traditional smart card technologies.

Designed for organizations with evolving security needs, iCLASS SE credentials support a wide range of technologies within a single card—including iCLASS®, Seos®, MIFARE®, MIFARE DESFire®, UHF, and proximity (125 kHz). This multi-technology capability allows seamless integration across existing systems while enabling a smooth migration to higher-security platforms over time.

In addition to short-range access control, iCLASS SE cards can incorporate secure UHF technology for long-range applications such as parking access and gate control. Depending on the reader and environment, UHF-enabled credentials can be read from distances of up to 5 meters, providing convenient, hands-free access for vehicles and secured entry points.

Security is at the core of the iCLASS SE platform. These cards utilize strong encryption, mutual authentication, and secure credential storage to help protect against unauthorized access, cloning, and data breaches. Password protection and layered authentication further enhance the safeguarding of sensitive data, making them ideal for enterprise, government, healthcare, and critical infrastructure applications.

Manufactured to ISO standards for size and thickness, iCLASS SE cards are compatible with most ID card printers and feature a high-quality printable surface for professional photo IDs. Durable composite options are also available for environments that demand extended card life and reliability.
