Today, with over 76% of Canadians carrying smartphones with them wherever they go, smartphones present a great opportunity to make your access control system more convenient and more secure. Smartphones can now be used to replace your traditional key card or fob access control credentials -- so your users never need to worry about carrying around their card or fob. With mobile credentials, it's also easier than ever to manage your user setup, tracking, and guest registration for your access control system -- whether it's ICT Protege, C-CURE 9000, or another access control system.

The technology itself is equally or, in some cases, more secure than top-of-the-line encrypted key fobs and cards. But, users are often less likely to lose their smartphone than their key fob -- and if they do, mobile credentials are protected by a PIN -- keeping your building more secure.

For many access control systems, it's simple to start rolling out mobile credentials while simultaneously continuing to use key fobs and cards.

Recently, people have discovered ways of copying some access control key fobs and cards. This presents a problem for businesses who aim to control access to their building for individuals, especially for shared areas such as parking lots and condominium amenities.

As it becomes increasingly easier to duplicate these cards, it's important to understand which access control systems are affected, and what you can do about it. The vulnerability lies in cards that are unencrypted and/or where patents have expired. If you use these credentials, and you are concerned about this issue, the simplest solution is to upgrade to encrypted formats.
