About Proximity Key Fobs

Simply key fobs, remotes key fobs are few other names use for proximity key fobs. A proximity key fob is a small device that is pocket size and highly convenient. Along with contactless technology, it also possess iButton credential feature. Since 1990, proximity key fobs are in the market and these are primarily used for cars for automatically locking and unlocking the car’s doors and also to ignite the engine to start the car. Proximity key fobs are programmed in such a way that it integrate with the individual security measures.

Cons of Proximity Key Fobs

Mishandling is the major drawback of using proximity key fobs. In case if it is lost, proximity key fobs replacement cost is much higher than the traditional keys. Not only the cost but its availability is also an issue as these key fobs are only available with the registered and authorized dealers of the car. With the increase use of this technology, higher number of accidental and injuries cases hav

About Proximity Key Tags

Proximity key tags are like an automotive key which is pocket size and convenient in use. Proximity technology is used in proximity key tags. These are quite flexible and durable and can be attached to a ring very easily. They are strong enough to withstand mishandling and harsh environmental conditions. Like proximity key fobs, they also support keyless entry system in the vehicles. Traditionally proximity key tags were designed to be operated on infrared technology. However today infrared technology has been replaced by radio frequency signals which are also used in RFID. By executing a list of steps, proximity key tags can be self-programmed.

 Benefits of Proximity Key Tags

For those who can’t remember codes, passwords or who access systems very rarely, proximity key tabs are a boon for them. Proximity key tags are used for many reasons such as to facilitate and monitor parking system, employee identification, in buildings and condominium, for setting up

About Proximity Reader

Proximity Reader is a device that makes use of access control system to keep a check on an electronic lock. The proximity reader produces and transmits radio signals like RFID devices with a low frequency that is recognized by a proximity card, which in turn generate access code which is transferred to the central system to check and control the access mechanism.

How does it operate?

Proximity reader is used for granting or restricting both physical and logical access control by the means of proximity cards. Low frequency radio signals are emitted by the proximity reader that are absorbed by the proximity or smart cards. When the smart cards are brought closer or in the read range of the proximity reader, the radio signals transmitted by the reader get absorbed in the coiled antenna inserted in the card. Once the antenna absorbed the signals, it gets powered and it transfers the energy to the microchip placed in the card. Once the microchip gets activated, it

Just a harmless extension of the well-known barcode, or a sinister tracking device designed to monitor the movements and habits of consumers?

The arguments around radio frequency ID (RFID) tags are heating up, with news that an American civil liberties organisation wants a boycott of Tesco over its use of the tags.

Tesco says it is only using RFID tags on DVDs and CDs at its Extra superstore in Leicester to help its distribution process and to "improve availability for customers".

But those opposed to it insist the technology - which allows products to be tracked via radio waves - is a device to spy on customers.

Trial extension?

RFID tags in products, and on "smart" shelves, are able to tally the shelves' contents continually, and make more precise requests for inventory from suppliers.

In California, state Senator Debra Bowen has introduced a bill to keep data from RFID tags separate from consumers' personal information.

But, according to Tesco: "The impact to the sup

HID announced the launch of its HID keyfobs HID® 1326 new high-frequency 13.56 MHz access card product line delivering increased security at a much lower cost with the excellent compatibility, service, and quality standards that have made HID card offerings so popular.

 HID Cards are priced to be significantly less expensive than both proximity and smart card solutions from other vendors. HID is able to provide these substantial cost savings to customers by being the first to utilize the latest ProxCard® ProxCard® ii  technology, specifically developed for physical access cards.

 To make ordering as simple as possible, HID keyfobs come in just two models: 1326 Standard Cards, for new installations, and HID Migration Cards, which include 125 kHz proximity technology that interoperates seamlessly with existing 125 kHz proximity readers. HID Cards further simplify the migration process by supporting the commonly used Wiegand card data formats used on proximity cards today.

What is Indala Proximity Cards?

Indala proximity cards is a card that like other cards uses proximity technology. However, it has an added feature of a verification and authentication process at the proximity reader which adds an extra layer of the security of access control system. And thus before sending the card details to the prior or host system, the Indala proximity cards filter out the unauthorized cards through its additional verification process.

Indala proximity cards are designed in a rugged style so that they can be used in harsh environments too. The card works on contactless technology and can both read and write and requires a frequency of 125 kHz. The proximity reader’s use for reading the Indala proximity cards are structured with smart programming technology, unique designs, and uniform core codes. The proximity readers are available in various shapes such as linear, curve, arc, wave, etc. with multiple colors for the users. And the proximity readers are designed to

To believe RFID cards crime is occurring, you have to ignore that RFID readers can read RFID information from many yards away only in perfect conditions. The actual conditions of multiple greeting cards in someone's wallet or purse, blocked by other cards and material and surrounded by all kinds of other metal things (e. g., keys or coins), all lead to RFID cards being hard to read at distance. Basically, when used at a merchant with normal visitors, RFID cards must be within a few cms to work. You often can't even keep it inside a wallet and have the signal reach the merchant reader.

A few assume the criminal mastermind has got the best RFID audience and the victim is alone and is essentially holding their card away in front of those so the reader has a definite shot at RFID eavesdropping. Let's assume the lawbreaker can actually get all the information available from a wireless read.

Many RFID credit cards will only readily transmit the credit card number and expiration date

I've written before about the non-existence of RFID credit-based card offense, a least as marketed by all the sellers selling anti-RFID shielding products. I'm one of the few voices constantly stating that buying RFID-blocking wallets and handbags, sleeves and the like would be a waste material of time and money. I've frequently said that I can't find a single documented case of RFID credit card offense. Each time I write about this, I get tons of angry email from vendors of such products as well as people who "just know" that they have been patients of RFID cards crime.The "victims" who write me personally always speak about a secret man, acting strangely, who walked by with an obvious device, that they firmly believed to be an RFID reader, and soon enough thereafter their credit cards has a fraudulent fee on it. I usually answer that a "feeling" that RFID fraud happened just isn't evidence of an genuine crime, and this I still, after FID car offense has most likely took place. 

HID announced the launch of its HID keyfobs HID® 1326 new high-frequency 13.56 MHz access card product line delivering increased security at a much lower cost with the excellent compatibility, service, and quality standards that have made HID card offerings so popular.

Despite the security weaknesses of 125 kHz proximity card systems, adoption of more secure replacements has been hampered by the lack of alternatives that meet all of the customer requirements for such a solution — low cost, seamless support of existing systems, easy migration, simple ordering and enrollment of cards, and a high level of security certified by independent third-party organizations. The HID keyfobs line meets all of these requirements and delivers high-assurance identity and access card authenticity to both newly deployed and existing physical access control systems.
