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.

MHP is a leading international food and agrotechnology company headquartered in Kyiv with production facilities in Ukraine, Spain, and Southeast Europe.
Prior to the implementation of the solution, the company operated in a distributed system with separate ACS servers in its divisions, which created significant operational challenges.
We have improved the operation of U-PPROX Smoke fire detectors in the U-PROX Home app – now users can quickly turn off the alarm sound and temporarily suspend the detector's response for 10 minutes.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Reliable protection for your home and business can be purchased at the country's largest electronics chains: Foxtrot, Epicenter, MoYo, Rozetka, Allo, ZhZhUK, Hotline, and Venkon.
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.
Usually, a motion sensor simply reports an alarm, but it is not always clear what caused it. Photo verification removes any doubts — you can immediately see what is happening at the facility.
