The REINER SCT FIDO Card is a smart card specifically developed for secure authentication in corporate environments. It combines FIDO2 authentication technology with MIFARE DESFire technology to support both modern multi-factor authentication and contactless applications such as access control or time recording. The card is designed for use in security-critical environments where high reliability and long-term functionality are required.

Applications

The REINER SCT FIDO Card is suitable for applications requiring secure identification and authentication. These include, among others, access control systems, time and attendance management systems, and secure access controls for IT systems and networks. The combination of FIDO2 and MIFARE DESFire enables flexible use in various security architectures, particularly in organisations that rely on standardised and future-proof authentication solutions.

Functions and Features in Detail

The card supports FIDO2 authentication, which enables secure, physical authentication via a device acting as a security key. This protects against phishing and other attacks targeting password-based authentication. Additionally, the card integrates MIFARE DESFire technology, which enables contactless data transmission and is established in many corporate applications. The card is therefore suitable for systems based on MIFARE DESFire, such as access control systems or applications similar to identity cards.

Technology Explained Simply

FIDO2 authentication is based on a public key system, where a pair of public and private keys is generated. The private key remains stored on the card, while the public key is transmitted to the authentication system. During login, the private key is used locally to sign an authentication message, which is then verified by the server. This prevents passwords or sensitive data from being transmitted over the network. MIFARE DESFire technology enables contactless communication over short distances and is established in many industrial and commercial applications. The card is therefore suitable for systems built on this technology.

Compatibility and Accessories

The REINER SCT FIDO Card is compatible with systems supporting FIDO2 authentication, as well as infrastructures using MIFARE DESFire technology. This includes, for example, access control systems, time recording systems, and IT authentication solutions. The card can be used in existing infrastructures already based on MIFARE DESFire, extending them with FIDO2 functionality.

Installation and Mounting

The card requires no mounting or installation in the conventional sense. It is inserted directly into the corresponding readers or authentication systems, or used contactlessly, depending on the application. Use involves physical interaction with a reader supporting FIDO2 or MIFARE DESFire. There are no specific mounting instructions, as the card is designed as a portable device.

Operational Advantages

The combination of FIDO2 and MIFARE DESFire offers high security and flexibility. FIDO2 authentication protects against password-based attacks and enables secure, physical authentication. MIFARE DESFire technology ensures compatibility with existing systems and enables seamless integration into existing infrastructures. The robust construction of the card ensures a long service life and reliable performance under various operating conditions.
