Model No.: EM-22, EM-23, MF-26, MF-27, For Printing Purpose, UC-1

The difference between IC -Mifare card and ID-EM 125KHz card

The difference between IC card and ID card Here to talk about the difference between IC card and ID card to help you make the correct choice.

1. IC card and ID card definitions: 

IC card full name is Integrated Circuit Card, also known as Smart Card. IC card can be read and write, large capacity, have encryption, 

data recording, reliable, easier to use. There is PHILIPS Mifare series cards.

ID card full name is Identification Card is a non-written card, containing a fixed number,There are the Taiwan SYRIS EM, the United States HID, TI, MOTOROLA and other types of ID cards.

2. Why IC card should be initialization (i.e. encryption), while the ID cards do not?

First, IC card, when used, must first IC card and reader device through the unique way between the key authentications only after the relevant work, so that the whole system has a very high security.

Therefore, we must initialize the factory IC card (i.e. encryption), aimed at the factory after the IC card generates 

unbreakable key card system to ensure the security of card payment mechanism system.

Second, IC card initialization encrypted, to the user, the client through the IC card issuance systems, in turn generate their own system, the user card private key.

Thus, the system guarantees issued by other users in the user card can not be used in the system to ensure the specificity of the system to ensure the safe use of the system mechanism.

Third, ID cards and magnetic cards, like, are simply using the 'card number' only the card in addition to card number, but without any security function, the 'card' is open and exposed. So the ID card is the 'magnetic induction', 

it simply does not need or do not need to initialize the problem.

Fourth, the initialization process by the users themselves why do not you do it? This is because:

1) If the user initialization, the user can not prevent insider favoritism. Because the user when using the card system, if people bought the cards with the community random initialization, can be released into the household can use free household card, or even give free recharge card consumption, will result in card system safety is a serious flaw with the mechanism.

2) In addition, if the card user to buy their inferior initial factory Oriented, and can not be used in the system will cause poor system performance or paralysis, which will result in unclear responsibility for the accident.

3) The implementation of the initialization process in the factory, mainly IC card security key authentication mechanism of basic needs, but also IC card system integrator business practice. 

As urban public transport IC card, these cards before use to the public transport system, each card should be factory key encryption control.
