The Thales IDPrime 931 DESFire® EV2 8K smart card is a high-security, minidriver-enabled dual-interface credential designed to deliver both logical and physical access control in a single, unified card. Combining a contact smart card interface with advanced DESFire® EV2 contactless technology, this credential enables organizations to streamline identity management while enhancing overall security.

Built on industry standards, the IDPrime 931 supports Java GlobalPlatform 2.2.1 and Java Card 3.0.5, providing a flexible platform for PKI-based authentication, digital signatures, and encryption. The contact interface is used for secure network login and identity verification, while the DESFire® EV2 8K contactless interface supports high-security physical access control for doors, gates, and secure facilities.

Designed for ease of deployment, the IDPrime 931 offers native plug-and-play integration with Windows® environments, reducing the need for additional middleware. It is fully supported by the SafeNet Authentication Client and SafeNet Minidriver, enabling efficient card management and lifecycle control.

The card is FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certified, with an optional Level 3 configuration (with certain limitations, such as no smart card logon). It also features a Common Criteria EAL5+ / PP SSCD certified chip, ensuring advanced protection for sensitive data and cryptographic operations.
