HID’s 5656PMSAV Seos® 8k Clamshell is a highly durable credential that delivers the same level of security as a smart card while featuring a slot punch to enable convenient deployment.

The Seos® Clamshell is powered by Seos® credential technology, which provides enhanced security, privacy protections, and functionality. Additional features enabled through advanced Seos® technology include secure access via mobile devices and the ability to efficiently manage multiple applications.

Highly secure – Seos® is Secure Identity Object (SIO)-enabled, allowing for multilayered security beyond the card technology and protecting identity data from unauthorized access.
ƒCertified – Based on Common Criteria (CC) EAL 5+ hardware platform, ensuring a clear chain of evidence that the platform’s security attributes have been rigorously tested and independently verified.
ƒHigh durability – All the power of Seos® technology packed into a robust ABS shell construction that provides protection in harsh environments.
ƒSlot-punched – Simply attach to a lanyard with ease for swift deployment, no plastic cardholders needed.
ƒMulti-application – Part of the iCLASS SE platform, an open and standards-based solution that supports data storage for multiple applications beyond traditional access control such as secure printing, time and attendance, cashless vending and biometric templates.
Heightened privacy protection – Seos® offers best-in-class data and privacy protection by incorporating mutual authentication and secure messaging mechanisms into stringent best practices for data protection.

The last number in the part number dictates the Seos® memory size.  In this case, the last “6” indicates a 8k bit memory size.

The ‘PMSAV’ portion of the part number is called the configuration. Each letter gives information on how the card looks or features of the card. Here is a brief overview of what each letter means in the configuration. See the SEOS Clamshell Ordering Guide PDF in the Documents and Downloads tab for the full details.
