ESMART Reader GOST

On March 12, 2019, the company ISBC announced ACS the ESMART Reader GOST reader, which combines multi-level, cryptoprotection performance at a wide temperature range from -40 to + 85 ° C, is not afraid of moisture. The solution uses Russian enciphering the GOST protocol and OSDP standard for transmission from data the reader to the controller.

According to the manufacturer's statement, Russian ESMART Reader readers ensure the security of business centers, enterprises and CII facilities through encryption and user authentication. Both cryptographic protection according to the international AES standard and the Russian encryption standard GOST 28147-89 or GOST 34.12-2015, implemented on Micron microcircuits, are used.

MCDS based on ESMART Reader allows, according to the manufacturer, to encrypt data between the reader and, identifier apply encryption key diversification MAC , signature and protection against replay attacks. For crypto protection according to the GOST standard, a domestic crypto processor MIK51SC72DV6 is used, certified as according to Cryptographic Information Security Tool (CIPF) the KS3 class - the highest for systems that process information that does not constitute state secrets, the ISBC emphasized.

ISBC noted that the use of the bidirectional OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol) provides secure data transfer from the reader to the MCDS controller. Security is realized through data encryption and authentication. The protocol reduces the economic costs of switching equipment: unlike Wiegand, fewer wires are used (4 versus 7), while OSDP devices are connected in parallel, which allows the same cable to be used simultaneously for several MCDS readers. The maximum distance from the readers to the controller is 1200 m.

author ' = Nikita Kozhemyakin, Managing Director of ISBC GC ' "Access control and control systems must provide security, but often cannot operate as intended. Cloning, card hacking and signal interception will allow attackers to open most modern MCDS. Threat prevention is possible if the reader and identifier are designed with information security technologies in mind, and data transfer is protected at all stages up to the controller. "

ESMART Reader Desktop

On January 15, 2019, the company ISBC reported that it had developed a control reader to allow administration of access control systems identification from to. to smartphones Desktop ESMART Reader DESKTOP with - USB connection PERSONAL COMPUTER to is intended for registration in not ACS only physical, but also virtual identifiers on mobile devices. Readers are manufactured in, at the ISBC Zelenograd Group's own facility.

According to the company, as of January 2019, identification by smartphones is one of the key areas of development of the access control system market. Research firm IHS Markit predicts that about 136 million virtual identifiers will be used globally by 2020, demonstrating significant growth in the mobile office access market.

The use of mobile devices with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) provides identification at a distance of up to 10 meters without having to apply it close to the reader on the aisle without taking it out of your pocket or handbag. The smartphone replaces the pass, both permanent and guest, which allows you to reduce the cost of access cards, increase the satisfaction of employees and visitors to offices. For maximum security, secure mobile applications are used, for example, ESMART Access with AES encryption, which prevents signal interception, cloning or identifier hacking.

ESMART Reader DESKTOP complements ISBC's line of MCDS hardware and software. It allows you to register in systems not only virtual cards in smartphones via NFC and BLE, but also any physical RFID-identifiers of the ISO14443A\MIFARE standard: smart cards, RFID-keychains AIRTAG, RFID-bracelets SILITAG. It is possible to configure emulation of any Wiegand format, add prefixes and postfixes to read data, emulation of Facility format and Bolid format.

ESMART Reader DESKTOP allows our clients to administer MCDS accesses directly from the administrator's workplace. As of January 2019, the desktop reader is compatible with the solutions of many leading manufacturers. The main feature is working with smartphones using BLE, which allows owners of IOS and Android devices to take advantage of all the advantages of mobile access.
