Nedap provides solution to Mifare security problem
Recent market research has shown that there is considerable dissatisfaction within the security community about the potential for a breach in the security provided by Mifare readers.
 Virtually all current Mifare solutions combine an antenna and reader technology within a single unit. The encrypted Mifare signal is detected by the antenna and then converted into legible data, after which it is sent to the controller of an access control system via a standard protocol such as Wiegand.
Since the Mifare reader is located on the unsecured side of the door, this signal can be intercepted and copied relatively easily.With the introduction of the new AP1007 Mifare reader (in the AEOS product range), Nedap is the first supplier to offer a solution that separates the antenna from the reader technology. This makes it possible for the antenna to be placed on the unsecured side of the entrance, while the encoded signal is converted into legible data on the secured side. The antenna and the active reader unit can be placed up to 30 meters apart.
In developing the unique AP1007 Mifare reader Nedap has applied its long experience in contact-less card readers. A number of high-profile clients have opted for Nedap AEOS precisely because of the high level of security provided by this solution.The functionality of the AP1007 can be adjusted in the AEOS software to suit both current and future requirements, including reading individual sections of the Mifare cards.
Mifare cards already in use can be seamlessly integrated into the AEOS system.Every day, Nedap security management systems are used by millions of people in banks, airports, hospitals, governmental buildings and industrial facilities in countries around the world. Always the first to apply the latest technology, Nedap has built a solid reputation as a recognised leader in the field of high-end security systems.
