Encoding & Access
SEOS
HID's highest-security credential technology: encrypted, chip-independent, and the basis for mobile access.
SEOS is HID's most secure credential. It uses modern encryption and mutual authentication, isn't tied to any single chip, and is the foundation for mobile credentials on a phone and multi-application use, one card for doors, PC login, secure print, and more. Card Imaging programs SEOS in-house to your system.
SEOS is the credential to choose when security and future-proofing matter most. Because it is chip-independent and strongly encrypted, the same SEOS credential can live on a card or on a phone (Apple Wallet, Google Wallet) and carry several applications at once, door access, PC login, secure print, and more. It is HID's flagship and the cleanest path to mobile access; we program it in-house.
