What is iclass dp card?

The iClass DP (Dual-Persona) card is a type of smart card from HID Global that combines both iClass contactless technology and a PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) smart chip in one card. This allows it to be used for both physical access control (such as opening doors with RFID readers) and logical access control (such as secure computer login, digital signatures, and encryption).

Key Features of iClass DP Cards:

1. Dual-Persona Functionality – Combines RFID-based access control with smart chip-based authentication for IT security.
2. Secure Data Storage – Uses iClass encryption for secure physical access.
3. PKI Support – The smart chip can store digital certificates for secure logins, encryption, and digital signatures.
4. Multi-Application Support – Can be used for building access, VPN authentication, email encryption, and secure printing.
5. Customizable – iclass dp card also supports different card formats, security levels, and encryption options.
6. iCLASS Technology: iCLASS cards use a high-frequency radio technology (13.56 MHz) for communication with readers, unlike traditional proximity cards that use lower frequencies. 
7. Dual Technology: iCLASS DP cards combine both 125 kHz proximity technology and 13.56 MHz smart card technology.
