More on Contactless Smart Card Readers

Zalud’s Blog found that Keyscan has introduced the K-Smart Mifare (13.56 MHz) contactless smart card reader. If the Keyscan access control system fails to detect the heartbeat because of a wiring fault or reader damage, an alarm condition is triggered allowing for a rapid investigation. As an added enhancement for critical or sensitive areas, the K-Smart also has an “anti-tamper” capability when connected with an optional anti-tamper switch. It’s the ultra-secure reader.

The K-Smart supports Keyscan’s K-Secure contactless Mifare smart cards with Max Secure – the card/reader encryption technology that offers the highest level of card security available. The K-Smart also supports ISO 14443 Mifare non-proprietary contactless smart cards reading the card serial number (CSN) for added versatility.

With its electronics protected in a durable epoxy potting, the compact, highly reliable K-Smart is equally suited to indoor or outdoor use, even in the harshest weather conditions.

With the advent of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the cyber security practices are increasingly getting integrated with the physical security practices.
