CARMEL, IND.
- February 15, 2010 - Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies today announced
that its new line of Schlage contactless smart credentials provides the highest
level of security, compatibility and scalability on the market today. The
new contactless smart credentials leverage MIFARE EV1 technology, are encrypted
with AES 128-bit diversified keys and include mutual authentication and a
message authentication code (MAC) to ensure that data is safe.
"When
we asked our customers what they wanted, they requested that their access
control solution installed today could be customized to meet their present
security and safety issues but be able to accommodate other applications that
will let their system easily, quickly and affordably grow and adapt as needed,"
explains Jennifer Toscano, Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies portfolio
marketing manager, credentials, readers, software, and controls. "We've
done that with this new line of Schlage contactless smart credentials."
Designed
on an open architecture platform, the new Schlage contactless smart credentials
are built to comply with ISO 14443 standards, the international standard for
contactless smart cards. Setting new standards, the new Schlage credentials
provide an extremely rapid up to 848 kbps baud rate data transfer between
the credential and reader, up to 32 times faster than many contactless smart
credentials already on the market.
With up to
twice the memory as traditional contactless smart credentials, memory options
of 2K, 4K and 8K bytes lets users get the solution needed today without having
to purchase extra memory. In addition, the flexible design of the credentials
helps them support diversified applications ranging from biometrics to cashless
vending and transit passes. Applications can be added to support system expansion
as slowly or quickly as needs and budgets become available.
The new contactless
smart credentials are available now and will be showcased at ISC West in Las
Vegas March 24-26 at Booth #20041.
