Secure CryptoRF® readers

To address the security needs of our clients, Applied RFID has made its readers compatible with Atmel’s CryptoRF® technology. We offer ready-to-ship mobile readers and fixed readers with CrytoRF® capability, allowing you to design a secure solution that fits your organizations needs.

CryptoRF® is the world's first 13.56 MHz RFID devices with a 64-bit embedded cryptographic engine, dual authentication capability, and up to 64 Kbits of memory, each with up to 16 individually configurable sectors. CryptoRF® devices create unique “signatures” based on information that is never transmitted or allowed to be accessed in any way, making it virtually impossible to copy.

Using authentication keys, session encryption keys and random numbers rather than an easily captured password, CryptoRF® generates a unique identity, for each transaction. The host reader and the CryptoRF® device must both be able to duplicate each other's identity before any data can be accessed or written. Learn more about our CryptoRF® readers.

Applied RFID offers the only FCC approved RFID Reader using CryptoRF® protocols. This gives your proximity solution hardware security superior to any competing software solution. Included is also a key diversification scheme which would limit any attack to only one unit, rather than at the system itself. By including the security in the hardware rather than developing a software solution, you shorten application development times.

These highly secure readers are ideal for applications such as:

Production Authentication
Public Transportation
Anti-Cloning
Driving License
