Proximity cards are low frequency (125 kHz) contactless identification cards that use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to communicate with a card reader.
Convenience: cardholders simply need to hold the card up to the reader to gain access, which is much faster and more convenient than traditional keys or PIN-based systems.
Efficient: Proximity cards are usually cheap, easy for organizations to purchase in bulk for large-scale distribution.
Lack of encryption: Information stored on proximity cards is not secure and cards can easily be cloned, for example, at local hardware stores using card duplicators.
Limited functionality: proximity cards are mainly used in key card entry systems as it lacks advanced functionality.
A smart card, also known as IC (Integrated Circuit card), is a high frequency (13.56 MHz) contactless credential, another form of RFID technology.
Proximity card is usually read-only and to provide card reader with the card's identification number for verification purpose. A smart card contains an embedded microchip that stores and processes data.
