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.
