What it is
RFID and NFC credentials contain an integrated chip and antenna that communicate with compatible readers using radio frequency energy.
HOW IT WORKS
Technical principle
An inlay is positioned within the card stack, protected during lamination and encoded by the authorized issuance system for its intended application.
Why it is used
It adds a distinct inspection method to the credential and complements material, printed, personalized or machine-readable controls.
Security benefits
- Machine-readable credential functions
- Contactless interaction
- Potential cryptographic verification
- Combination with physical security layers
MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY
Integration starts with the card stack
Card materials, antenna geometry, shielding, lamination pressure and temperature must be evaluated as a complete construction.
MANUFACTURING CONSIDERATIONS
Control points
- Inlay position and antenna clearance
- Lamination stress
- Reader and frequency requirements
- Authorized encoding and data governance
