X3 Smartcard All In One May 2026

For IT security, the X3 acts as a PIV or CAC (Common Access Card). It supports RSA 2048 and ECC 256-bit algorithms for PKI authentication. Users can tap the card against a USB reader or laptop NFC pad to unlock Windows, macOS, or Linux workstations. It also supports single sign-on (SSO) for SaaS platforms like Office 365 and Google Workspace via FIDO2 integration.

Myth: "One card that does everything must be a security risk." Fact: The X3 uses a hardware-enforced firewall between applets. The crypto wallet cannot access the door control applet, and the PIV applet cannot see the crypto seed. It is a "multi-tenant" secure element.

Myth: "Contactless cards are easy to skim." Fact: The X3 uses encrypted session keys. A skimmer reading the UID gets only the public serial number, not the cryptographic secret. The secret never leaves the chip. X3 Smartcard All In One

The X3 communicates via the PC/SC standard (Personal Computer/Smart Card). It works out-of-the-box with most:

For physical access, it is compatible with HID Prox, Indala, EM Marine, and MIFARE Classic/Desfire readers, making it a true "universal translator" for access control. For IT security, the X3 acts as a
