Switch®
Switch®, the encoding reader for secret keys
Switch to your own keys!
Switch® guarantees the security of cards as they are transported from one site to another.
These cards are initially programmed with transport keys, which are inactive on operator sites, in favor of private operating keys.
The operator will be able to have his cards securely produced with transport keys, either in an in-house badge office or outsourced, and then have the final keys programmed directly at the final site of use.
The version status of the badge’s keys can be automatically checked by the Switch ®, which also allows the badge’s private keys to be deprogrammed to return to an initial transport status.
In the event of key compromise, Switch® allows you to change card keys very quickly, without having to remake the cards.
The operator can implement a policy of regular key replacement simply by reprogramming the keys with Switch®, without having to change the cards.
No need for software or special skills, Switch® converts keys completely independently, and can also control badges.
The Switch® has 2 slots for SAM modules in SAM-SIM format.
The first SAM card contains standard AiO® encryption keys or operator-defined transport keys.
The second SAM card is generated during a key ceremony to enable the operator to transmit his private encryption keys in total confidentiality and security.
