Welcome to high security

Easyline offers increased security through data encryption and mutual authentication between the card and the reader. It uses the latest MIFARE® DESFire® EV2 contactless chip technologies with new data security mechanisms:

Secure Messaging EV2: secure transaction method based on AES-128 with protection against interleaving and replay attacks.
Proximity Check: better protection against relay attacks.

By using security-standard encryption and advanced key management mechanisms, Easyline reduces the risk of duplicated card or compromised data.
