How the compatible Bosch access (iCLASS / MIFARE / coded DESFire EV1) works

The Bosch access (iCLASS / MIFARE / coded DESFire EV1) is a dual-frequency credential operating on both 125 kHz LF and 13.56 MHz HF, so the compatible part must carry the correct data on whichever band your readers use. Its data structure is Multi-tech reader; standard iCLASS/MIFARE/DESFire EV1 + Bosch-coded DESFire EV1 (AES keys). When you present a credential, the reader decodes that exact structure and passes it to your access-control panel as a card number it recognises.

Because the Bosch access (iCLASS / MIFARE / coded DESFire EV1) is a secured smart credential, it is designed so the encryption keys stay under your control. We supply compatible blank credentials built on the matching Genuine NXP MIFARE DESFire EV1 / Classic 1K platform, ready for your access-control system or integrator to enrol exactly as it would credentials ordered through the original vendor's channel. You get drop-in spares and bulk stock at a fraction of OEM pricing — and because your own system writes the keys, every credential inherits your site's security.

To order, tell us the part number or format printed on your existing Bosch card, and our specialists confirm the encoding before anything ships. Bulk and reorder quantities are welcome — pricing is a fraction of OEM list, and every credential is verified to read on your existing equipment.

Bosch access (iCLASS / MIFARE / coded DESFire EV1) — common questions

Is this a genuine Bosch card or a compatible one?

It is an independently manufactured compatible credential — engineered to the same specification as the Bosch access (iCLASS / MIFARE / coded DESFire EV1) so it reads identically on your existing readers, but it is not an Bosch-branded product. Security ID Systems is independent and not affiliated with Bosch; your access-control panel accepts the credential exactly the same way.

How do you supply a replacement for my secured Bosch smart card?

The Bosch access (iCLASS / MIFARE / coded DESFire EV1) is a secured smart credential, so the encryption keys stay under your control. We supply compatible blank credentials on the matching Genuine NXP MIFARE DESFire EV1 / Classic 1K platform that your own system or integrator enrols — exactly like ordering blanks through the original vendor's channel, at a fraction of the cost. Because your system writes the keys, the credential inherits your site's security.

What frequency and format is the Bosch access (iCLASS / MIFARE / coded DESFire EV1)?

It operates on 13.56 MHz HF, using multi-tech reader; standard iclass/mifare/desfire ev1 + bosch-coded desfire ev1 (aes keys). Matching that exact frequency and data structure is what makes a compatible credential work — a card on the wrong band or bit length simply will not read.
