The perfect blend of

high security and scalability

The perfect blend of high security and scalability

Multi-technology to simplify your migrations

Offering support for the widest range of contactless identification technologies, the reader is the ideal choice for making a gradual transition to high security. It simplifies management of upgrades, technological migrations and complex multi-site configurations.

Multi-function touchscreen reader

Both a reader and a tactile keypad, it allows user identification by combining the reading of an RFID or virtual card with the input of a personal keypad code.
The same reader can also operate in multiple mode. It authorizes, for example, the reading of cards for personnel and the entry of codes for visitors or temporary workers.

Access control with the smartphone

Discover the 6 modes of identification for a unique user experience!

Virtual cards promote acceptance of and compliance with the Security Policy of businesses, industries and governments.
STid Mobile ID^® is so user-friendly that it makes identification instinctive.

Choose your favorite identification mode and make your access options both secure and much more intuitive!

Migrate with peace of mind to secure technologies

The Architect^® Blue Hybrid Multi-Prox reader is the perfect choice for a smooth transition to secure authentication technology.

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.

The reader supports the use of public security algorithms (3DES, AES, RSA, SHA…) recognized by specialized and independent organizations in information security (ANSSI French cybersecurity agency and FIPS).

It includes an EAL5+ crypto processor to improve data protection and confidentiality.

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.
