Swissbit New iShield Key MIFARE

Swissbit AG is expanding its range of authentication solutions with innovation: the iShield Key MIFARE.

This hardware security key is the first of its kind to combine the advantages of a FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) security key with the NFC technology MIFARE DESFire EV3. The iShield Key MIFARE thus opens up a wide range of applications that go far beyond traditional user authentication and set new standards, particularly in the field of smart access control. The iShield Key MIFARE is available.

All-round talent for more security
The iShield Key MIFARE provides businesses and users with a range of functions. Powered by MIFARE DESFire EV3, it ensures secure, phishing-resistant authentication while supporting diverse applications such as access control, time tracking and payment systems. By consolidating multiple functions into a single token, the iShield Key MIFARE enhances security, streamlines business operations, and reduces costs.

The iShield Key MIFARE integrates the latest IT security standards with the practical needs of modern businesses. Along with secure logins to operating systems, websites, and online services via FIDO2 and FIDO U2F, the security key enables the generation of one-time passwords using HOTP and TOTP. It supports PIV (Personal Identity Verification) for document signing and encryption and can store at least 300 passkeys for passwordless website logins. With its wide range of features, the iShield Key MIFARE is a solution for meeting IT security demands.

MIFARE DESFire: More than just access control
By integrating MIFARE DESFire EV3, the latest addition to the Swissbit iShield Key family offers a broad spectrum of applications that go far beyond traditional access control. Companies and institutions can utilize this security key for time tracking, micropayments, loyalty programs, campus and student ID cards, and even advanced public transportation systems. The versatility of MIFARE DESFire technology makes the iShield Key MIFARE a flexible solution for a wide range of industries and needs.
