Quick and Secure Access with NFC Credentials

For environments requiring high security with convenience, such as workstation access and secure logins, many organizations turn to NFC credentials. As a contactless interaction, NFC technology allows users to authenticate with a tap or wave of their NFC-enabled device. rf IDEAS readers are compatible with a range of NFC credentials including Employee Badge in Apple Wallet and corporate badge in Google Wallet.

What mobile credential is<br>right for me?

Bluetooth® and NFC credentials are both used for mobile access control, but they differ in range, interaction, and convenience

BLE Credentials

Physical-only cards that rely on basic RFID to transmit a simple ID number and are primarily read-only, making them less secure and easier to clone.

NFC Credentials

Contain a microprocessor or chip, support encryption, and enable advanced applications like secure logins or multi-factor authentication.

To quickly identify your card type, check if there’s a visible chip or if the card supports PINs or encryption; these features indicate a smart card, whereas a proximity card typically has a plain surface and supports only basic, close-range access control.
