FAQ

Why do I need this module to enable NFC?

NFC smartphones, unlike MiFARE cards, don’t have a pre-defined UID on NFC interface. For typical smartphone without a secure element, a mobile app is required to turn your smartphone into a credential. And our module works with the app for the security confidentiality.

How it works?

Once the NFC smartphone with Toro Card installed, it will generate a UID randomly. However, to prevent playback attack, a private keys should be negotiate with the reader for mutual authentication purpose. The negotiation will be done on the ENROLL process. Once ENROLL is done, the reader can perform AUTH to validate if the phone is really who it claims to be by mutual authentication. Through this mechanism, we can protect the credential to be not stolen on the NFC interface, and smartphone can be used as an ID, just like a card.

What’s the benefit of using NFC smartphone on access control?

  • Don’t have to carry cards; one phone for all your cards
  • You will realize lost of smartphone much sooner than lost of cards, and actions can be performed to prevent any damage
  • Fewer cards, fewer cost, and save the planet. System managers will be happy to save cost of cards
  • It’s safer because advance security algorithms can be implemented digitally
  • Besides, it’s fancy!

Is it secure?

We invest a lot of efforts to make this solution secure. We adopt industry security standards of encryption that banks and military are using
  • Use advance Cryptographic Algorithms comply with industry standards
  • Mutual Authentication is performed
  • Keys are diversified and untraceable
  • Use PKI for cross-phone credential delivering
  • Message Authentication Code is used for data integrity
  • On board security chip for system authenticity
  • Credential is locked by phone specific parameters
  • NDK is used for critical parts in Android App
