Crescendo is a family of credit card-sized smart cards designed to provide versatile and secure logical and physical access control. Crescendo leverages the state-of- the-art smart card platform technology to deliver a standards-based solution for strong authentication and data protection. The smart cards also address evolving market needs by offering superior performance and security.

Crescendo C1150 smart cards provide endusers with one smart card for accessinglogical and physical resources, eliminatingthe need to carry multiple credentials orremember multiple passwords or PINs. Forlogical access, the cards can be used forsecure login to workstations and laptops,as well as web-based applications.

The cards support strong authenticationfor VPN access as an alternative to onetime password (OTP) tokens. They alsosupport cloud-based applications whendeployed with HID's ActivID® 4TRESS®. C1150smart cards provide document and emaildigital signature services and can be usedto protect critical data during transmissionbetween trusted parties or for data at-rest(e.g. encrypt files, emails or hard drives).

The C1150 is available as a hybrid card with a contact chip and one or several RFID chips for physical access. The smart cards leverage world-class contact chip technology that includes a high output co-processor to deliver maximum performance for cryptographic operations.

As a "ready-to-use" solution, the cards come preloaded to work with a variety of applications available on the market. The Crescendo C1150 portfolio is interoperable with the Microsoft-approved mini driver, delivering broad support for Microsoft's Enterprise products.
