Multi-technology for a simplified migration

The Architect^® Blue Hybrid Multi-Prox reader simplifies management ofadditions, upgrades and technological migrations. It offers the unique ability to manage more than 20 contactless identification technologies:

NXP MIFARE^® (Classic & Classic EV1, Ultralight^® & Ultralight^®C, Plus^® & Plus^® EV1, DESFire^® 256, EV1 & EV2) credentials
smartphones compatible with Bluetooth^® and NFC (HCE),
125 kHz (HID Proximity^®, INDALA, AWID, IOPROX, EM…) credentials,
the serial numbers of the iCLASS™ and PicoPass^® cards.

Migrate to the latest technologies

Offering support for the widest range of secure, Prox and hands-free identification technologies, the Architect® Blue Hybrid Multi-Prox reader is the ideal choice for making a gradual transition to a secure authentication technology.

Welcome to high security

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). The reader 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 : improved protection against relay attacks.

It uses an EAL5+ crypto processor to improve data protection and privacy.
