Identiv (Hirsch / uTrust TS) Access Credentials Compatible Cards & Fobs
Identiv (formerly Hirsch Electronics) readers support standard 125 kHz proximity and proprietary uTrust TS DESFire smart card credentials — AKC supplies compatible standard prox cards for Hirsch/Identiv installations using Wiegand-based credential formats.
Identiv, which acquired Hirsch Electronics, produces the Velocity access control platform and a range of readers spanning standard 125 kHz proximity to high-security MIFARE DESFire EV2 and PIV. AKC supplies compatible standard proximity cards (26-bit H10301 and DSX D10202 format) for Identiv/Hirsch reader installations; Identiv's proprietary uTrust TS smart card credentials are platform-specific and cannot be sourced from third-party suppliers.

Our compatible Identiv (Hirsch / uTrust TS) Access Credentials credentials
American Key Cards manufactures non-OEM credentials engineered to work with your existing Identiv (Hirsch Electronics) readers — no hardware changes, encoded to your facility code and card-number range.
Can Identiv (Hirsch / uTrust TS) Access Credentials cards be copied?
Identiv (Hirsch / uTrust TS) Access Credentials is an open format, so a compatible card can be produced from your facility code and card number. We don't copy individual cards on request — we manufacture new, correctly-encoded credentials for systems you own or manage.
Standard 125 kHz proximity credentials (26-bit H10301, DSX D10202) used on Hirsch/Identiv readers are cloneable. Identiv uTrust TS DESFire EV1/EV2 smart card credentials are cryptographically protected and highly resistant to cloning. Hirsch ScramblePad readers also support PIV/CAC for government/high-security environments — these are federally issued and cannot be third-party sourced.
Where Identiv (Hirsch / uTrust TS) Access Credentials is used
- High-security government and enterprise facilities using Hirsch ScramblePad readers
- Healthcare and university campuses on Identiv Velocity platform
- Replacement prox cards for legacy Hirsch reader installations
- Organizations migrating from 125 kHz prox to Identiv uTrust TS smart cards
