2024: Obtaining Transport Safety Certificate PP No. 969

Wall readers for ACS the ESMART Reader of the BLE line have been certified by transport security technical means in accordance with Decree Governments of the Russian Federation No. 969 according to Scheme III for mass-produced devices. The developer announced this on February 28, 2024. This type of certification is a prerequisite for the use of equipment in security systems at airports, railway and bus stations, seaports and other transport infrastructure facilities.

Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation issued certificate MINISTRY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS No. RF.03.001593 of February 21, 2024. It certifies that the ESMART Reader fully complies with the functional requirements of the security equipment for transport infrastructure.

2021: Transfer of ESMART brand "AT bureau"

In March 2021, the ESMART brand was completely transferred by ISBC Group to AT Bureau LLC.

2018: Announcement

ISBC and "The Guardian" reported to TAdviser on November 16, 2018, the creation of a joint Cyber ESMART solution that turns a mobile phone into an electronic home key. According to the developers, the product combines the reliability of the Guardian Cyber electromechanical locks and the capabilities of ESMART Reader readers: double identification significantly increases the safety of apartments and houses.

The solution as a whole complements the traditional mechanical method of locking doors with built-in electromechanical protection and access control system. A mechanical key is used, as well as HF identification using the AIRTAG RFID keychain or identification using a smartphone with NFC, BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) technologies, TAdviser explained in ISBC.

Home MCDS (access control and control system) consists of built-in controller and reader ESMART Reader, invoice or plug-in. The Guardian Cyber solution is equipped with a power supply with a battery and an input-output button, and ISBC AIRTAG electronic keys are supplied. After locking the door, MCDS blocks the unlocking of the mechanical lock until the electronic key is used.

A feature of Cyber ​ ​ ESMART, as specified in the company, is identification by mobile phone. By installing the ESMART Access mobile application, you can open the door simply by attaching your phone to the reader, using NFC, as with contactless payments, or BLE.

According to ISBC and the Guardian, the system is highly secure, in the event of an external power outage, the MCDS switches to a battery, the capacity of which is enough for several days. Only in very long cases of lack of electricity does the electronic protection system turn off after the battery is discharged. But even in this case, the mechanical locks remain closed, which will prevent unauthorized entry of intruders, the companies emphasized.

Radio frequency identification technologies make life much more convenient. We make contactless payments, use transport, get discounts in stores and access to offices using RFID identifiers and smartphones. Thanks to the collaboration of "The Guardian" and ISBC, the mobile phone becomes the electronic key to the house. The identification system for a smartphone with NFC or BLE is protected from signal interception over the air, cloning and hacking. Security is provided by AES 128 encryption, encryption key diversification, identifier CMAC signature and protection against replay attacks, "said Nikita Kozhemyakin, Managing Director of the ISBC Group of Companies.

At the time of publication of this material, the solution is already available to Russians in the Guardian salons.
