ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM / DOOR ENTRY SECURITY
SOLUTIONS - OVERVIEW
A simple way to increase security and efficiency
Today’s access control security system technology offers tremendous
benefits to organizations of every size and scope.
You can save money and improve security by
automatically managing access at entrances with the
swipe or scan of an access control card. You can
also safeguard critical information stored in your
networks and databases. Wipaq offers Simple door
entry security control systems in DUBAI, UAE and
Middle East
Secure access security solutions for every type of access control
program
From magnetic stripes to HID prox cards to MIFARE®
contactless smart cards,
One card, endless access control applications
Physical and logical access control are only the
beginning. Card identity systems let you combine
multiple other functions into a single ID card,
including:
• Employee and visitor identification / Door Entry
security Systems
• Time and attendance
• Cashless cafeteria payments
PHYSICAL ACCESS CONTROL
SYSTEMS / DOOR ENTRY SECURITY SOLUTIONS
Automatic ID verification at entryways and restricted
areas.
Card identity technology extends the benefits of
access control security systems to organizations of every size.
Whether you manage a few or dozens of doors and
restricted areas, you’ll find it easy and affordable
to integrate your photo ID, access control, time and
attendance and other functions into a single card.
Wipaq acts as a solution provider for automatic ID
verification in Dubai, UAE and Middle East.
SMART CARDS FOR DOOR ENTRY SECURITY SYSTEMS
Smart card Security solutions offer dramatic advancements in
card security and functionality.
Smart cards are small and tamper-resistant. They
hold, transmit and encrypt massive amounts of data.
And they fit neatly within the surface of a digital
ID card. Wipaq offers Smart card based solutions and
provide support for all its installation in Dubai,
UAE and Middle East
In an age with increasing security threats and
data-transmission privacy requirements, smart card
hardware, software, systems and solutions are fast
emerging as the preferred technologies and
applications around the world. The International
Card Marketing Association states that the smart
card market is growing at an annual rate of 28%.
smart card hardware.
SMART CARDS USED FOR DOOR SECURITY ACCESS
• ISO 7816 contact smart chips, the world’s most
commonly used contact smart card standard (read and
write)
• MIFARE® contactless RFID smart chips (read and write)
• HID proximity cards (read-only)
Contact vs. Contactless Smart Cards
Two technologies, same high level of Door Security
systems
How do contact and contactless smart cards differ?
It essentially boils down to convenience.
• Contact Smart Chip cards
Contact smart cards must be inserted into a smart
card reader to establish a direct contact between
the reader and a micro module on the smart card
surface. This physical contact permits the
transmission of data, commands and card status.
• CONTACTLESS SMART CARDS
Contactless smart cards only require close proximity
to a reader (typically within a few inches) to
enable the transmission of data, commands and card
status, hypothetically taking less time to
authenticate vs. contact smart cards. Both reader
and card have an internal antenna that securely
communicates with the other.
Using advanced data encryption technologies,
contact less smart cards are every bit as secure as
their contact counterparts.
Contactless technology is ideal for mass transit,
large corporations or any other entity tasked with
moving thousands of people through their GATE/ DOOR
ENTRY
control systems each day.
Other Types of Technology Cards
The future functionality of the ID card used for
DOOR SECURITY ACCESS
Standard contact and contactless smart cards are
only two examples of a larger group of technology
cards. This collection of powerful technologies is
poised to converge and transform ID card efficiency,
functionality and security as we know it.
• Proximity or RFID cards
This technology brings keyless convenience to
physical access control security systems. Proximity cards
or RFID cards use
an internal antenna that cardholders wave within a
few inches of a reader to be granted or denied
access.
• “Combi” proximity cards
These cards integrate photo ID, proximity, magnetic
stripe and even smart card technology into a single
card, eliminating the need to carry multiple cards
for different purposes.
• Hybrid smart cards
A hybrid smart card has two chips embedded into a
card’s surface — one contact and one contactless —
each with its own interface. This effectively
doubles the functionality and security of every card
issued.
• “Combi” smart cards
Combi smart cards allow a single smart chip to
securely interface with both contact and contactless
readers. The Smart Card Alliance forecasts that the
transportation and banking industries will adopt
this technology first.
• Optical laser cards
These cutting-edge cards transform CD-ROM technology
into a credit card form, capable of securely storing
megabytes of personal information. For example, a
patient ID could hold an image, health care history,
vaccination record, X-rays and more.

CARD BASED DOOR ACCESS SYSTEM
Controlling DOOR access or door entry Security to your facility is of vital
importance, whether your facility is a high
security area such as a Hospital, Airport, or
Bank, or even if it is an everyday situation
such as an Insurance Office, School, or
Department store.
Visual Identification
The simplest access control systems use portrait
ID or Membership cards, which rely on a
receptionist or colleagues at work to recognize
interlopers by the absence of a valid, matching
portrait card. Such systems require the printing
of clear, easily visible, portrait cards.
Unfortunately however, that alone is not enough,
because with current PC and scanner technology,
creating fake or counterfeit cards is all too
easy for the bad guys.
Even simple door entry control systems need to use
an anti-counterfeiting system which provides an
overall security "watermark" feature which is
proof against all attempts to copy it.
This type of access control is extremely
cost-effective, and it may be all that many
facilities need to achieve the security level
they require.
Swipe Card Door Access
Control Systems
If you need controlled access without relying on
the presence of guards or reception staff, you
may need to add swipe card readers and
electronic locks to your controlled entrances.
A higher level of security can be achieved by
using mag-stripe readers.
Proximity Cards / Prox
Card Access Control Systems
Proximity Cards, or "Prox" as they are often
called, are standard size plastic ID cards which
contain a coil antenna and a pre-programmed
micro chip containing a unique code.
When the prox card is within a foot or so of the
Prox reader, the 125 KHz signal from the reader
is picked up by the card antenna and used to
power-up the micro chip which then replies with
its own unique code.
The reader and its associated processor compares
the code with a list of authorized entrants, and
if it's OK, the door is opened and a record of
entry is logged.
Prox cards must always be "personalized" with a
portrait ID to eliminate the misuse of "loaned"
or stolen cards.
Biometric Access
Control Systems
For the very highest level of security it is
possible to use a "biometric", or body
measurement, such as a fingerprint or retinal
scan to reliably identify authorized persons
seeking access.
The most practical way to implement a system
like this is to store the encoded biometric
(e.g. fingerprint) on a smartcard containing a
micro chip which has a built-in memory and
encryption processor.
When the card is used, the reader checks to see
if the code on the card is valid, then waits for
a live fingerprint scan which matches the
fingerprint stored on the card, before opening
the door.
The cards used in a biometric access control
system can either be of the 'contact' type which
requires the direct insertion of the card into a
reader, or of the "Contactless" type which
operate in a similar way to a prox card, but
which usually use a higher frequency around 13.5
MHz.
Any of these smart cards can be directly printed
and encoded in one operation for the highest
level of security protection. |
