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.

We are excited to announce that the universal OSDP-enabled readers U-PROX SE Keypad, U-PROX SE Mini, and U-PROX SE Slim have successfully obtained FCC (USA) and ISED (Canada) certifications.
Protecting a property starts beyond the building itself. Entrances, yards, driveways, and other outdoor areas need monitoring to help identify an intrusion before someone reaches the premises. Wh...
On January 22, a landmark event for the Ukrainian security market, “Security Synergy,” organized by our partners Viatec took place in Kyiv, at which U-PROX brand manager Mykola Shevchenko gave a presentation entitled “Solutions in Action: Practical Implementation of Projects.”
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.
Introducing the vandal-proof U-PROX SE Steel and U-PROX SL Steel readers - a reliable solution that meets the stringent environmental requirements of public places.
These compact and stylish devices allow you to quickly and intuitively control your security system: arm or disarm it, activate partial protection, or instantly raise the alarm.
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.
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.
From now on, U-PROX Siren and U-PROX Siren Outdoor indoor and outdoor sirens have a new feature — the ability to precisely control which sensors the siren should respond to within the permitted groups.
