What is RFID Card in Access Control Usage
RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) cards are contactless smart cards widely used in physical access control systems. They enable fast, secure, and convenient user authentication at entry points without the need for physical contact. RFID cards are commonly used for: Employee or visitor identification, Entry to restricted areas, Secure time attendance logging In high-security environments, standard RFID cards are insufficient due to vulnerabilities such as cloning or unauthorized duplication. To address this, encrypted RFID cards are implemented to provide secure mutual authentication and robust data protection.
