Avigilon Alta (Openpath) Compatible Cards & Fobs

Avigilon Alta (formerly Openpath) is a Motorola/Avigilon cloud access platform whose native credentials are encrypted 13.56 MHz MIFARE DESFire EV3-based cards and fobs (plus mobile). Honest note: these native encrypted DESFire credentials are NOT clonable or duplicable — they require Avigilon's validated encryption key, so no aftermarket supplier can lawfully copy a secured Alta card. What American Key Cards can supply are standard non-OEM compatible blanks the Alta Smart Readers also accept, such as 125 kHz HID Prox and unsecured 13.56 MHz MIFARE Classic/DESFire (CSN) credentials, for readers configured to read those formats; we are not affiliated with Avigilon and never claim to clone secured credentials.

MIFARE Classic 4K

MIFARE Classic 4K expands on the 1K format with 4,096 bytes across 40 sectors for multi-application campus and transit use, but shares the same broken CRYPTO1 cipher that makes all MIFARE Classic cards cloneable with off-the-shelf tools.
