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.

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.
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.
On August 7, in Kyiv, together with our partner, Triniti-SB company, we held a seminar-presentation of U-PROX and TVT Digital new integration solutions in the field of video surveillance, security systems, and access control.
With wireless systems, with their ease and speed of installation and setup, is it possible to achieve instant feedback from all devices, as was the case in classic wired systems, without losing reliability and battery consumption?
The multi-standard U-PROX Desktop reader with USB interface now supports Mifare DesFire secure identifier technology - a family of 13.56 MHz contactless chips compatible with the ISO/IEC 14443 A standard.
Protect your home and reduce costs? Yes, it's possible with a cloud-based ACS from U-PROX. Learn how an access control system solves business problems of condominiums.
Modern network (IP) access controllers are an effective solution for providing centralized control and security at facilities for various purposes, from small offices to large production complexes, logistics hubs, and branched corporate enterprises. The controllers provide user authorization, event monitoring, and integration with other systems via a network connection.
The Basis School in Kyiv is a private research school specializing in the natural sciences (physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology) and advanced English language learning. Founded in 2018, the school quickly gained a reputation as one of the leading educational institutions, ranking first among Kyiv schools in terms of NMT results.
U-PROX United combines the capabilities of the existing U-PROX Home and U-PROX Installer applications with a modern design and an even more user-friendly interface.
We are proud to announce the strategic expansion of the U-PROX brand into the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) through a new official distribution partnership with i-Alarmsysteme GmbH.
