Biometrics have led this charge for many years, and now they have a partner in crime in the shape of virtual credentials which live within smartphones. Virtual credentials, using Bluetooth and NFC, have flexibility and compatibility and can

STid product range in brief

STid’s Architect range With its range of Architect readers, STid has created a blend of high security and upgradability. This is the first modular range of secure RFID, NFC (HCE) and Bluetooth readers, offering flexibility and simplicity. Architect readers are based on an intelligent RFID core (Bluetooth optional) to which various interchangeable modules are connected: card reader, keypad, touch screen, biometric fingerprint sensor, 1D and 2D code reader (QR Code) and 125 kHz reader to facilitate your technological migrations. This straightforward and cost-saving modular approach lets you autonomously manage the security of your access points. The concept offers greater availability and services, while optimising your inventory by reducing the number of parts needed by 40%. STid’s Spectre range Spectre Nano facilitates access control for vehicles and drivers with different profiles (visitors, employees, tenants, etc.) thanks to multiple identification technologies. Passive UHF technology: The reader provides UHF identification up to 6 m. The passive credentials (without battery) require no maintenance and have an unlimited life span.

Bluetooth smartphones: The reader offers many identification modes – long distance, hands-free or proximity - to make your access control both secure and instinctive. Spectre Nano is fully integrated into the STid Mobile ID ecosystem, allowing users to use their virtual card for parking and pedestrian access. Mixed identification: Spectre Nano reads heterogeneous identifiers: • The virtual card for smooth management of visitor and employee access. • The UHF windshield tag for tracking vehicle fleets. • Both simultaneously for vehicle and driver identification. The reader benefits from the highest levels of security, guaranteeing the authenticity and confidentiality of data, using encryption methods recognised and recommended by independent organisations (ANSSI, FIPS, etc.): • Encrypted/signed credentials to ensure anti-cloning and anti replay protection. • EAL5+ certified key storage. • Self-protection function to erase security keys. • Secure end-to-end bidirectional communication using SSCP and Open Supervised • Device Protocol (OSDP) protocols.
