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-E 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

Montage bioE porte

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

Equipped with a backlit keypad, the reader allows multi-factor identification of users by combining the reading of an RFID or virtual card with the input of a personal keypad code.
Thanks to its different operating modes, the keypad can be used for identification or to activate additional functions (alarm...).

 

The highest levels of security

pictos bio antifraudes

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.
  pictos bio accelero

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.

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.
