ARCS-B/BT - 13.56 MHz DESFire® EV3 + Bluetooth® keypad readers

ARCS-B/BT - 13.56 MHz DESFire® EV3 + Bluetooth® keypad readers

The ARCS-B/BT is a vandal proof reader combining RFID / Bluetooth® (Low Energy) technologies with a capacitive keypad. Compliant with existing access control systems, the Architect® Blue reader identifies mobile phones thanks to many Prox or handsfree identification modes. It can work alongside or replace traditional RFID access cards. It integrates an EAL5+ crypto processor to improve data protection and privacy.

Manage with ease a multi-factor identification

Both reader and keypad, the ARCS-B/BT allows a dual-identification by combining card and/or PIN code identifications.

Thanks to its various operating modes (card AND key or card OR key), you can use the keypad to identify people or to activate additional functions (activation of the intrusion alarm…)

Welcome to high security

Logo of Anssi for the high security of the ARC1S/BT

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.

The reader supports the latest contactless technologies with the newest data security devices: 

  • Secure Messaging EV2: transaction security that protects against interleaving and replay attacks.
  • Proximity Check: protection against relay attacks.

 

It integrates recognized and approved security mechanisms such as public algorithms and an EAL5+ certified crypto processor to protect your data stored in the reader.

End-to-end security control

With top-level security certification (CSPN) from the French National Agency for the Security of Information Systems (ANSSI), STid secures and protects your data.

In addition to an integrated cross-level quality process within the company, we have implemented a constant auditing procedure with a number of external security audits (PHONESEC).

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

logo sia osdp US

Readers are compatible with the SIA Open Supervised Device Protocol - OSDP™ V1 & V2.

logo sscp US

Readers are compatible with the latest generation of open protocol SSCP (STid Secure Common Protocol). This protocol recommended by ANSSI uses data encryption (AES) and two-way “reader-controller” authentication to ensure security before any communication is allowed between the reader and the management system.

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.
