In conventional identifiers (such as Em-Marine), the code is open and easy to copy, since there is no encryption. This makes them vulnerable to cloning, which is critical for ACS security. Mifare Classic cards also have critical vulnerabilities and backdoors from unscrupulous manufacturers, which makes it easy to hack such cards and copy data from the encrypted internal memory.
An alternative is Mifare Plus and Mifare DESFire, which operate at 13.56 MHz and have internal memory with duplication protection. Mifare Plus cards in SL3 or Mifare DESFire mode use strong AES encryption, so it is currently impossible to copy their data without knowing the encryption password.
Readers that are configured to work with encrypted Mifare Plus and Mifare DESFire will only “recognize” authorized cards. The user data stored in a separate encrypted memory area is used as an identifier.
To issue (encrypt) secure cards, our engineers recommend using a special U-PROX Desktop reader and the U-PROX Config smartphone application. The same Mifare parameters are configured and saved in the U-PROX Desktop and U-PROX SL/U-PROX SE series readers. Then, using U-PROX Desktop, the cards are encrypted and their new identifiers are entered into the ACS.
The configured readers of the U-PROX SL/U-PROX SE series will read only encrypted Mifare cards with your unique password and support smartphones as electronic passes, and the access control system will work exclusively with secure identifiers.

Meet the new product that is already available for order - the U-PROX PIR CAM wireless motion detector.
If the detector is triggered, it will send one or a series of photos to assess the situation to the U-PROX Home mobile app and the central monitoring station of the security company. The photo will be sent only during an obvious alarm.
Introducing U-PROX SE Slim – a stylish and reliable access control reader that uses a unique design solution – a tempered glass panel. This is the glass you see every day on smartphone screens.
We are very proud to announce our newest achievement - U-PROX SE series readers have successfully passed the SIA OSDP certification, confirming their reliability and security.
U-PROX Smoke is now officially certified to EN 14604:2005+AC:2008, a standard that opens up new opportunities for our distributors and security integrators across Europe.
Tired of constant upgrades of local servers and excessive costs for maintaining your access control infrastructure? Cloud-based access control systems offer a radically different approach: flexible scalability without additional capital investments, round-the-clock access to real-time data, and maximum security thanks to modern encryption methods.
Realizing the importance of quick and efficient analysis of security events at your facility, we are pleased to announce the expansion of video verification capabilities in U-PROX access control systems.
Modern elevator control systems are not just a comfortable option, but a full-fledged tool for controlling the movement of people between floors of a building, with functions to restrict access to certain floors only for authorized persons.
Modern security threats are becoming more and more sophisticated, so reliable protection requires much more effective tools than conventional security systems. Perhaps now is the time to reconsider your approach and strengthen your security with a truly innovative solution from U-PROX?
How to effectively protect the territory without long-term installation and unnecessary costs? U-PROX rapidly deployable perimeter security systems are widely used for various temporary and mobile objects.
