I recently discussed on ColorID's ID Blog the use of mag stripe cards on campuses and the security and convenience advantages of migrating to high frequency contactless cards. This article continues that discussion in a more technical mode.
There are three types of radio frequency chips used for identification cards: Low Frequency (125 KHz - Prox), Ultra-High Frequency (880-930 MHz - UHF) and High Frequency (13.56 MHz - Contactless). Prox is a 20-year old technology that is fast and convenient at the door, but the security of the chip-reader interface has waned with the passing years. Ultra-High Frequency chips were developed to replace bar codes for identifying boxes in warehouses and have a long read range (up to 30 ft.), but security was a low priority in their design. They are good for identification at manned guard stations and parking lot gates, but not for unattended door access.

Contactless High Frequency chips are the present and future for use in identification cards where security, speed and convenience are important. Because they have security at the heart of their design, physical access is almost always the first application on a campus for the new cards. Virtually impossible to breach, cards and readers are created around an encryption algorithm, or formula, which uses a key to scramble and unscramble card data. The key is a number that is known by the cards and readers and it functions as a constant in the algorithm. This technology prevents any unauthorized access of data during transactions, making high frequency contactless cards far more secure than the mag stripe identification card. As I explained in the previous article, mag stripe cards have no inherent security and are easily cloned. Although mag stripe financial transactions are guaranteed by banks against fraud, there can be no such guarantee when used for physical access. Physical access demands the security provided by the high frequency contactless card.

As with mag stripe and prox cards, contactless cards are most often used to present an identification number to the reader. In payment and physical access systems in North America, the back-end system usually manages all the permissions and record keeping for the cardholder based on the identification number that the reader receives from the card. You present your card to the reader, the card and reader perform the security functions of authenticating to each other and encrypting and decrypting data, and the system recognizes your card number and opens the door because it has been programmed to allow you to enter at this time. If there is another system on campus that requires its own ID number from the card, each number can be stored in a separate application area of the chip memory and secured with an encryption key exclusive to that system. This prevents the physical access control system from reading the ID number for the payment system that is also stored on your card.

Contactless cards are made for a variety of purposes by several manufacturers and can conform to three different ISO standards - 14443, 15693 and 18092. These standards share some attributes, but each has its primary function: 14443 is mostly used for transit fare and payments - Mifare and DESFire cards meet this standard; 15693 has a longer read range and is used for physical access - HID's iCLASS is in this group; and 18092, the new standard for NFC (Near Field Communication) and includes Sony's FeliCa.

Given all these variables - encryption keys, application programming, ISO standards and manufacturers - it can be a bit of a juggling act to make one card access all the applications you would like it to. In some cases, your ability to use contactless cards for other applications will depend on your system provider's willingness to integrate the readers for your cards into their system. If you have systems that can function offline, e.g. laundry and vending, there are readers for those machines that can read stored value from contactless cards. Biometric templates (the identifying numbers derived by a fingerprint or iris scanner) can also be stored on contactless cards, for high security offline access.

Card manufacturers have been hard at work developing cards that successfully combine several technologies, including prox and contactless or two different types of contactless chips in the same card. As you consider the use of contactless cards on your campus, it can help to draw up a schedule of priorities, such as security, convenience, availability and cost.

In future articles I will discuss contactless cards for financial transactions, NFC and contact smart cards for logical access.

About 40 years ago, the first campus card was used to monitor access to a university dining hall. A few years later, the mag stripe card was introduced to the university campus. Since then, university ID cards have become as important as backpacks and blue jeans on campuses around the world.

One of the challenges for card offices, security, dining services, housing and IT personnel has been to decide which technologies will make their cards most successful and cost-effective on their campus. In the days of mag stripes and bar codes, this question usually answered itself. But now, with a multitude of chips available for cards, both contact and contactless, the decision has become more difficult.

Although ID Cards were first used for meal plans, it wasn't long before they began to be used to open doors (physical access). Following the lead of the hotel industry, the predominant technology used for physical access was the magnetic stripe. Also used widely for credit cards, the magnetic stripe card is fairly inexpensive and easy to program. The swipe readers on the doors around a campus could be in either online or offline mode.

Until recently, the magnetic stripe was considered secure enough for this physical access. Unfortunately, magnetic stripes have no particular inherent security and are very easy to duplicate. This is not considered a problem for the credit cards that we carry every day, because the credit card issuers (Visa, MasterCard) will not require us to pay for unauthorized purchases. This is a guarantee by the issuer and not a result of the security of the magnetic stripe. For the physical safety of the university population however, the magnetic stripe is now known to be insufficient. Recently, a number of universities have found their names in the local or national newspapers after a student had "cloned" the magnetic stripe card of a prominent university official or fellow student, and breached the system.

About 20 years ago, Prox cards with radio frequency IC chips were introduced. Transmitting at 125 KHz, they provided a much higher level of security than magnetic stripes. Not as easy to clone as a magnetic stripe card, Prox cards have become vulnerable to attacks as their technology has aged.

Recently, the Prox chip has been eclipsed by a new radio frequency chip, known as high frequency "contactless smart cards". Though they are used at the door in much the same manner as Prox cards, they operate at 13.56 MHz. Mifare, Legic and HID's iCLASS fall into this category. These chips provide a significantly more secure card-reader interface than the old Prox chips and their readers. Before the transmission of encrypted personal data, there is a challenge-and-response sequence of communications, through which the card and reader verify that each other is trustworthy for this transaction. Data stored on the card is also encrypted. A significant benefit of contactless over magnetic stripe cards is that the cards are not dragged through swipe readers, which is very damaging to the surface of the cards.

As a university considers changing to a card containing one of the newer technology chips, cost is certainly an important factor in the decision. Any card with a chip in it will be more expensive than a plain PVC card or even a mag stripe card. Installing new or replacing existing readers brings with it the costs of new readers and installation. Fortunately, new contactless card readers can often be installed in the place of existing prox or magnetic stripe readers with no significant change to the existing wiring or mounting box. There is a protocol for security wiring called "Wiegand" and it is an industry standard for many different types of readers. As plans are being made to upgrade an infrastructure, looking into the future reveals two new trends in card reader technology: Wireless contactless readers (Wi-Fi - 802.11), which can be installed in locations that are difficult or expensive to reach with wires; and IP-addressable network readers, which can be employed to interface directly with software and replace old control panels.

If you use Proximity or Contactless Smart Cards to secure your Government facility, you may find a new product from ColorID very useful. The PlusID can improve security for highly sensitive areas by adding fingerprint authentication to your Prox credential. The innovative design of this product puts the fingerprint reader on the personal device that the employee carries with them. These are some of the benefits of the PlusID:

• Fingerprint Authentication: PlusID is a small biometric device that verifies a person’s identity by using a quick fingerprint scan and then, only after biometric verification, allows the PlusID holder to enter a facility, room, cabinet, or grants access rights to a PC or network.
• Enhanced Security: PlusID significantly enhances both your physical and IT security. Now, access to buildings and PCs can be granted after 2 Factor Authentication, Something You Have and Something You Are.
• Works with Existing Access Control Systems: PlusID works wherever industry standard Proximity, Contact or Contactless Smart Cards are used.  No new hardware, software or middleware is required.
• One-Card Solution: One device can replace multiple access cards, fobs and passwords used for access control, PC and or network log on.
• Partial Deployment: PlusID can be issued for selected employees or areas in your organization.

One of the biggest differences between printing on blank PVC (Mag Stripe) card stock and proximity cards is the cost difference of the cards. Blank card stock may cost less than a dollar per card while Proximity cards average $3 - $8 (depending on options). Mistakes in the printing of Proximity cards can create significant financial losses. In order to protect your investment here are a couple important points you may consider.

Using Proper Proximity Printing Technology

Problem: Most blank card stock is constructed with an even flat surface, however Proximity cards contain an antenna and chip inside each card. Most dye sublimation printers are direct to card printers. The deviation in the Proximity cards surface (from its internal contents) causes the printhead to lose contact with the cards surface. The result may be a loss of printed information. Some ID offices have accepted the end result with direct-to-card printing. However, improved technology is now available to dramatically improve the quality of your Proximity cards.

Solution:Fargo offers an HDP (High Definition Printer) series ID printer specifically designed for printing on Proximity and Smart Cards. The HDP's printhead never touches the cards surface like a direct-to-card printer. The HDP prints onto a ‘transfer film' first and is then transferred to the cards surface and adhered by pressure and heat. If the cards surface is uneven, the film will cover all its deviations. In addition, the print quality is amazing when compared to a direct-to-card printer. Since the printer ribbon is not being fused into the card, its colors are more vibrant, clear and to the edge of each card. In addition, you can help protect your Proximity cards by adding the standard clear or holographic overlaminate to your cards surface. This will minimize fading and seal the card from the elements. The printer cost is only slightly higher than some direct-to-card printers. The decreased number of misprinted cards and better print quality will help pay for itself in the long run. For those needing a better print quality with vibrant colors, we would suggest a High Definition Printer.

Extended Card Life: How to Protect Your Investment

Problem: Proximity cards that are not properly protected may last only 12 – 18 months before experiencing issues such as cracking, loss or fading of variably printed information, etc.

Solutions:

1. Pre-Printing Proximity Cards: We recommend you lithographically Pre-Print Proximity cards. This will give you a much higher print resolution and more durable card. Overlay (1.5 mil) is used during the Pre-Printing process to protect the static information.
2. Lamination: Using a lamination (1mil) overlay on your card to protect the variable information (image and data files), coupled with the Pre-Printed solution gives you the optimal protection.

Summary: Yes, it may initially increase your per card production cost by using the above methods. However, in the long run spending a little more in the beginning will ensure you are issuing cards that are properly printed and protected. Following the above recommendations should enable your cards to last 4-5 years under normal wear and tear.

 

When was the last time your ID card printer had a thorough cleaning or tune up?

Much like other mechanical devices, regular routine maintenance is critical to keep your ID printer in top shape and to help extend its life cycle. Plastic card printers have moving internal parts that if not maintained and cleaned on a regular basis can become inoperable, causing print issues and ultimately shorten the life of a printer. Proper routine care and maintenance will prolong the life of your ID printer and insure quality printing with each card.

Here are some cleaning tips:

• INTERNAL ROLLERS: Clean the internal rollers of your printer with an approved cleaning kit every 1,000 prints or approximately every two ribbon changes.
• PRINT ROLLERS: Clean the printers feed roller(s) with a water dampened lint free cloth every ribbon change to ensure proper card feed into the printer.
• PRINT HEAD: Clean your printer's print head with an approved thermal printhead cleaning pen with each ribbon change.
• BODY OF PRINTER: Clean the outside of your printer with an alcohol cleaning pad included with your cleaning kit.
• TUNE-UP: Have your printer professionally tuned up yearly by a Factory Trained Service Technician here at ColorID.
• FIELD RETROFITS: Do not attempt printhead replacement or any other printer repairs if you are not qualified to do so. Improper installation or repair can cause serious damage to the printer.

ColorID sells cleaning kits for all makes and models of ID card printers. We also offer a Full Service Printer Tune Up Program. The cost of the Tune Up program is only $249.00 per printer.

Please contact our Government and Industry Marketing team to receive a price quotation for cleaning supplies or to schedule an annual tune-up. We can also provide you with quotations on any of your ID printer needs: lanyards, card holders, printer ribbons, cardstock, HID cardstock, and much more.
