ARC-E - 13.56 MHz DESFire® EV3 keypad biometric readers

By developing the Architect^® innovative readers, STid has created the perfect blend of high security and scalability. The Architect^® ARC-E reader provides secure multi-factor authentication by combining the most secure open RFID technologies on the market, a capacitive keypad and a biometric fingerprint sensor.

The most awarded access control reader around the world

The perfect blend of high security and scalability

Welcome to high security

STid is the first RFID manufacturer to have received First Level Security Certification (CSPN). It’s a recognition of our unique know-how, the technological and security expertise that are implemented in your access architecture, whether new or existing.

ARC-E reader uses the latest MIFARE^® contactless chip technologies with new data security mechanisms. All public encryption algorithms can be used (3DES, AES, RSA, SHA, etc.), which are recommended by official data security agencies (such as the French national agency ANSSI).

Benefits

100% local sandboxed programming
Autonomous management for securely programming RFID and Bluetooth^® user cards
Configuration and reconfiguration of readers
Protection and confidentiality of user cards and the master card
Plug & Play tool
Fully compatible with AGENT, CIMS and STITCH cards
Complies with General Data Protection Regulation no. 2016/679 and Standard EN16571

The software tool for full control of your security

The SECard software lets users, installers and integrators easily:

securely program user RFID and virtual cards,
create master physical or virtual badges for programming readers,
manage keys and security configurations.

Best market self-protection

The innovative tamper protection system protects sensitive data and gives the possibility to delete the authentication keys (patented solution). Unlike the current solutions on the market, the reliability of the accelerometer based technology avoids it being outsmarted.

Create your own upgradable configuration

The Architect^® series is intuitive and dynamic, and consists of 6 interchangeable modules that can easily be connected to a common smart RFID core.

This easy and cost saving modular approach allows autonomy on the security access management.
