TWIC / CAC Wiegand 56-bit format(without parity) with Transaction Status Messages (total of 64 bits)

Everything you need to understand TWIC / CAC Wiegand 56-bit format(without parity) with Transaction Status Messages (total of 64 bits)

Card format overview

A proprietary 64-bit card format used in access control systems, featuring a unique structure composed of 14-bit agency code, 14-bit system code, 20-bit credential code, 4-bit credential series, 4-bit individual series issue, and 7-bit transaction status messages, allowing for easy management and avoiding card number duplication for secure, contactless access.
