Multi-Factor Authentication & Access Control Integration
The reader adds “something you know” (a PIN) to “something you have” (a card or phone), so a lost card alone cannot open the door. Cryptographic keys are stored in an EAL5+ secure element and controller communication is encrypted via OSDP Secure Channel, while keypad entries are sent in formats compatible with most controllers. Our professional team of skilled specialists configures authentication modes and access schedules and integrates them with your system.
