Swissbit is expanding its range of authentication solutions with a unique innovation: the iShield Key MIFARE. The new hardware security key is the first of its kind to combine the advantages of a FIDO Security Key with the NFC technology MIFARE DESFire EV3. The iShield Key MIFARE thus opens up a wide range of applications, particularly in the field of smart access control. The iShield Key MIFARE is available now.
All-round talent for more security
The iShield Key MIFARE provides businesses and users with a comprehensive 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.
The iShield Key MIFARE seamlessly 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.
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.
Quality: “Made in Germany”
The iShield Key MIFARE is manufactured in-house at Swissbit’s own semiconductor facility in Berlin to industrial-grade standards.
Versions, Availability, and Distribution
The Swissbit iShield Key MIFARE is available in two versions: a Pro version that supports FIDO2 along with additional security protocols such as PIV, HOTP, and TOTP, and a FIDO2 version that focuses on FIDO2/WebAuthn and its predecessor, U2F. At launch, both versions will be offered with a USB-A interface and are available through Swissbit's distribution partners.
