Abstract
Various electronic credentials comprising swipe activation are disclosed. An electronic credential core comprises a controller and an inductive coupling circuit. The inductive coupling circuit is configured to generate a signal when exposed to a changing electromagnetic field, such as during a read operation of the electronic credential by a magnetic reader. The generated signal is provided to the controller. The controller performs one or more functions in response to the generated signal. Swipe-activation of electronic credentials eliminates the need for hardware activation and increases the ease of use of the electronic credential.
