IDCRAFT: Secure Authentication Starts at the RFID Reader
IDCRAFT expands its portfolio with rf IDEAS WaveID
By adding the WaveID product family from rf IDEAS, IDCRAFT is further strengthening its portfolio for secure RFID/NFC authentication. Designed for use in security-critical environments, WaveID readers support a wide range of credential technologies – from legacy proximity cards to modern smart cards and mobile credentials.
Broad Credential Support – LF and HF/NFC in One Portfolio
WaveID readers cover both LF (125 kHz) and the full HF/NFC spectrum (13.56 MHz). Supported technologies include:
LEGIC (including selected chip variants)
MIFARE (Classic, DESFire, Ultralight)
HID Prox
HID iCLASS SEOS
PIV/CAC
FIDO2 (depending on model and configuration)
This flexibility allows organizations to maintain existing badge infrastructures while gradually introducing modern authentication strategies.
Seamless Integration into Existing IT Environments
For fast deployment and easy integration, WaveID devices support multiple operating modes, including:
HID Keyboard Mode (Keystroke output)
Virtual COM Mode
CCID / PC/SC compatibility (for smart card workflows)
These options enable straightforward integration into Windows login environments, PKI-based authentication, Single Sign-On (SSO) systems, and broader Identity & Access Management (IAM) frameworks.
Portfolio Highlights
WAVE ID Nano – ultra-compact USB-C reader, optionally ruggedized
WAVE ID Plus – dual-frequency (125 kHz + 13.56 MHz) for mixed credential environments
WAVE ID Mobile – BLE + NFC for mobile credentials and hybrid concepts
WAVE ID Bio – combines RFID + fingerprint for multi-factor authentication
OEM Embedded Modules – for manufacturers and integrated solutions
Typical Use Cases
Single Sign-On / Shared Workstations
Secure Print (Pull Printing)
Time & Attendance
Healthcare authentication (fast user switching in clinical environments)
Financial and government sectors with high compliance requirements
With cross-platform compatibility (Windows, macOS, Linux) and SDK support, integration projects can be implemented efficiently – from proof of concept to full rollout.
IDCRAFT: Distribution Plus Project Support
With the addition of WaveID, IDCRAFT reinforces its role as a distributor for RFID-based security solutions. Customers benefit not only from a broad hardware portfolio, but also from consulting, configuration support and integration expertise – from selecting the right RFID reader to implementing complete authentication projects.
