For over 10 years, Gemalto has provided a lightweight management portal for their .NET smart cards called Device Administration Service, or DAS. More recently it has been called IDAdmin 100. As of July 1, 2015 the DAS portal will be discontinued. Gemalto now offers a much more robust Card Management System called IDAdmin 200. To help DAS users migrate to the new system, we are offering the one-time Admin license (normally $682.50) at no charge and a 25% discount on the user licenses, through July 1. ID Admin 200 offers the following features, most of which were not available with DAS: -Smart card & certificate lifecycle management -Self-hosted solution with no dedicated servers -Card printing & extended batch processing -Secure repository & full traceability -Larger set of supported smart cards Smart Card Lifecycle
All smart card operations within IDAdmin 200 focus on the lifecycle of the smart cards. To graphically visualize the lifecycle, a state diagram is used. This state diagram always informs the operator what state the selected smart card is in, and available actions/processes from this state. The same diagram is also used by the administrator when configuring the processes. Fast Installation, High Security, No Dedicated Servers, Low TCO IDAdmin 200 is client-server based. It streamlines all aspects of smartcard management by easily connecting to enterprise directories, certificate authorities, smart card printers, external databases, physical access control systems, etc. IDAdmin 200 has been designed for having several operators and users working in parallel without a need for synchronization and each operator only needs to have access to the operator application and the operator’s operator smart card.

The workshop will cover a number of roundtable discussions on the higher education industry, leadership, card program basics/development/marketing as well as a tour of the University of Notre Dame campus. ColorID will be involved throughout the workshop as well as having an exhibit displayed to answer any questions regarding your current or future card program needs. CARD NUMBER FORMATS When a contactless or prox card is presented to a reader, the reader captures the number that is programmed into that card over a radio frequency (RF) interface. The reader then sends that number to the system that grants access to doors, networks, or applications on a PC. The various shapes that the card number might have are called formats. FACILITY CODE AND CARD NUMBERS Cards are programmed with 0s and 1s, which are often arranged into sections – the facility code or prefix which is the same for each card; and the ID number which is different for each card. The access control system looks first to see that the facility code is correct for that facility, and then it checks the ID number of the card for the requested permission. Sometimes a format is designed without a facility code, in which case each card has a longer ID number. The most common card format is the 26-bit open format, with available facility codes between 0 and 255, and ID numbers between 0 and 65,535. Other common formats are 34-bits, 35-bits (often called Corporate 1000) and 37-bits. UNIQUE CARD NUMBERS
It is very important that every card enrolled in a system be recognized by that system as unique. If a particular format cannot meet the requirements of a large institution, it will be difficult to avoid the collision of ID numbers in the system. In the case of the 26-bit format, for each facility code there are only 65,535 unique ID numbers. Upon exhausting all the ID numbers for one facility code, it is possible to create another facility code and start over at 0 with new ID numbers. However, some systems are configured to only look at the ID numbers , resulting in ID number collisions. Here is an example of two cards that could cause this problem:
CARDS AND MORE THAN ONE SYSTEM Many institutions have a local access control system which manages all the prox card numbers locally. However, some institutions use a Single Sign-On application such as Imprivata, which is managed centrally for several institutions. In this configuration, a prox card number which is unique to the local access control system could collide with other prox card numbers in the enterprise SSO application, especially if the latter were only looking at the ID numbers and not the facility codes. SOLUTION As organizations grow, their card formats must grow with them, in order to provide enough unique ID numbers. Formats such as Corporate 1000, which has over 1,000,000 ID numbers per facility code, and a 32-bit format with 1000 facility codes and over 2 million ID numbers are available for programming into all types of contactless cards. ColorID has helped thousands of institutions select formats and configure their various systems and readers to read those formats.
