ARC-D - 13.56 MHz DESFire® EV3 biometric reader

The perfect blend of

high security and scalability

The perfect blend of high security and scalability

Welcome to high security

STid is the first RFID manufacturer to have received First Level Security Certification (CSPN). It’s a recognition of our unique know-how, the technological and security expertise that are implemented in your access architecture, whether new or existing.

ARC-D reader uses the latest MIFARE^® contactless chip technologies with new data security mechanisms. All public encryption algorithms can be used (3DES, AES, RSA, SHA, etc.), which are recommended by official data security agencies (such as the French national agency ANSSI).

Easy Fingerprint management

Different possibilities of fingerprint management depending on your security needs:

Fingerprint templates directly stored in the RFID card
(CNIL French & GDPR European legislation compliance)
Fingerprint templates stored in the system
Card only mode with derogation at the card level
(one-time visitor, difficult finger...)
Smartphone with biometric unlocking
or Smartphone only with derogation

Benefit from the highest levels of security

Advanced anti-fraud functions

The Architect^® Blue biometric reader is designed to resist fraud attempts:

False finger detection: the reader detects a wide range of counterfeit fingerprints made of latex, Kapton, transparent film, rubber, graphite, etc.
Detection of live fingers
Duress finger: the admin can assign a finger number dedicated to authentication when the user is threatened.

Ultimate self-protection

The patented motion sensor pull detection system protects sensitive data by allowing authentication keys to be erased.

Unlike existing solutions within this market, the reliability of the accelerometer avoids potential system bypass.

Benefits

100% local sandboxed programming
Autonomous management for securely programming RFID and Bluetooth^® user cards
Configuration and reconfiguration of readers
Protection and confidentiality of user cards and the master card
Plug & Play tool
Fully compatible with AGENT, CIMS and STITCH cards
Complies with General Data Protection Regulation no. 2016/679 and Standard EN16571

The software tool for full control of your security

The SECard software lets users, installers and integrators easily:

securely program user RFID and virtual cards,
create master physical or virtual badges for programming readers,
manage keys and security configurations.

Complies with General Data Protection Regulation no. 2016/679 and Standard EN16571

Readers are compatible with the latest generation of open protocol SSCP^® (Secure & Smart Communication Protocol). This protocol recommended by ANSSI uses data encryption (AES) and two-way “reader-controller” authentication to ensure security before any communication is allowed between the reader and the management system.

Reader are compatible with the communication protocol SIA Open Supervised Device Protocol - OSDP™ v1 and v2.

Best market self-protection

The innovative tamper protection system protects sensitive data and gives the possibility to delete the authentication keys (patented solution). Unlike the current solutions on the market, the reliability of the accelerometer based technology avoids it being outsmarted.

Create your own upgradable configuration

The Architect^® series is intuitive and dynamic, and consists of 6 interchangeable modules that can easily be connected to a common smart RFID core.

This easy and cost saving modular approach allows autonomy on the security access management.
