How the compatible Suprema (Xpass / BioStar, CSN + DESFire) works

The Suprema (Xpass / BioStar, CSN + DESFire) 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 Reads CSN (UID) of EM/MIFARE/DESFire + outputs configurable Wiegand; XPass 2 supports 125 kHz EM, MIFARE, MIFARE Plus, DESFire, FeliCa. 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 Suprema (Xpass / BioStar, CSN + DESFire) 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 / T5577 / EM4100 / 4200 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.
