Idesco launches new access control system, Access 8 CD 5 2.0 reader in its AESCO package

Tue, 28 Feb 2012 08:00:00 GMT

Idesco, the first manufacturer in the world to offer encrypted card-reader-host communication, has transformed the weakest link in access control systems into the strongest. The Access 8 CD 5 2.0 reader – now available to order - is merely the foundation of Idesco’s revolutionary new AESCO package.

AESCO won't stop at lifting the security of access control to an unprecedentedly secure level. For what’s most innovative about AESCO is that it is an OPEN TECHNOLOGY solution - it can applied to an existing controller system without requiring any changes to it! It even streamlines the system’s migration up to paramount security by providing one with a convenient and speedy migration station for their entire population of transponders. Naturally, AESCO will also offer a variety of migration pathways into this new pinnacle of card-reader-host encryption.

Idesco comes out with convenient and stylish key-ring tags

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 08:00:00 GMT

Convenient key-ring tags are often the ideal solution for certain access control settings. UK customers recently expressed their enthusiasm for the both stylish and convenient leather keyring, capable of housing Low Frequency, Mifare and Idesco's patented Microlog98 technology tags. Particularly appealing, though, is that this keyring's leather holder is both durable and yet soft enough to not scratch or damage other items it comes in contact with.

Idesco has always carried a wide selection of convenient key-ring tags, from low frequency (for access control and time & attendance applications) to highly secure Mifare® DESFire capable of accommodating sector reading applications, to long-range EPC applications, using Idesco's durable sail tags, readable even within a moving vehicle.

Idesco introduces secure access control reader to the market

Tue, 14 Feb 2012 08:00:00 GMT

Idesco is delighted to be introducing a pinnacle achievement in secure access control: the Access 8 CD 5 2.0 AES. Why is this reader so much more secure? Quite simply, a 128 bit AES cipher encrypts any data travelling from this already extremely secure access control reader to its hosting system's controller. Furthermore, all access control or security key data processed outside the reader housing is also encrypted. (In our next issue we will present our revolutionary innovation that securely decrypts and translates our reader's data stream across a large range of systems and controllers.)

Idesco's reader products have always included robust security features, like vandal-proofing, tamper alarms, and even encrypted reader-card communication in some cases. The new rugged Access 8 CD 5 2.0 AES possesses all these features but also secures your reader-host data communication with virtually unbreakable encryption. Finally, like its predecessors, Access 8 CD 5 2.0...
