Modern HF | NFC – RFID Applications
Payment, Identification, SSO, eID — the future of contactless identity ecosystems
Contactless technologies based on HF | NFC - RFID have evolved far beyond access management. Today, they form the backbone of modern identification ecosystems — covering NIS-2 conform identity management, eID, Single Sign-On (SSO), access control, and closed-loop payment.
International standards such as ISO/IEC 14443, ISO/IEC 15693 and the NFC Forum specifications guarantee interoperability across cards, smartphones and reader infrastructures. This standardization gives system integrators the foundation for scalable, future-proof deployments.
A key trend is the convergence of identification, access and payment: a single NFC tap can authenticate an employee, validate an access credential and trigger a closed-loop payment — backed by Apple VAS and Google SmartTap on mobile wallets.
As an Advanced Card Systems Ltd. partner, IDCRAFT supports system integrators with a focused portfolio:
ACS ACR1552U — NFC Forum certified desktop reader (ISO 14443 A/B, ISO 15693, ISO 18092)
