Access control system

Why are there major hidden dangers in the old access control system?

June 03 , 2021

Many users' access control systems still rely on outdated technology and communication protocols, which may expose companies to the risk of intellectual property theft, data leakage, and violations of regulations. After upgrading to a modern access control system, it can not only eliminate security loopholes, but also increase multiple application functions, and lay the foundation for future mobile access support.

Fingerprint access control

What security vulnerabilities exist in the outdated access control system?


   A recent global survey found that many access control systems still rely on outdated credential card technology. Nearly half of the surveyed systems support low-frequency (125 kHz) proximity cards, and one-third support magnetic stripe cards, and both types of cards can be easily copied.


Many access control systems in China still use MIFARE card reading serial numbers as identification, and the encryption algorithm for reading MIFARE CLASSIC has been cracked as early as 2008. We can clone MIFARE cards from many brands of smartphones in common use, and can also be online Find a large number of video tutorials for copying MIFARE cards or buy tools for copying cards.


   The problem is not just with old-style credential cards. The card reader in the access control system needs to establish communication with the controller through the system protocol, and the most widely used Wiegand protocol dates back to the early 1980s. The protocol is unencrypted and has loopholes. It can be intercepted and blocked. copy. In addition, maintaining such backward systems is extremely difficult and costly, and remote updates are not possible.



Time does not wait, seize the opportunity to upgrade


   Obviously, the outdated fingerprint access control system can no longer meet the needs of corporate security, and it is urgent to update it as soon as possible.


   Compared with the outdated and outdated static technology, the use of new dynamic access control technology with stronger performance can bring many advantages:


  · The scope of application is expanded and upgraded to a new generation of smart cards, which can simultaneously support multiple applications such as secure printing, network login, parking management, electronic payment, etc., and lay the foundation for future mobile access


  · Reduce card management problems, such as re-issuing a large number of cards, thereby improving operational efficiency


  · Improve the level of safety protection


  The security team can seize specific events and opportunities to implement upgrades:


• When the IT network or its infrastructure needs to be upgraded, it provides an opportunity to upgrade the physical access control system, because while it is being upgraded, it needs to be upgraded with a modern access control system to improve security, so that the investment is fully protected.


  • New technologies can be introduced through mergers or acquisitions, thereby saving the cost of integrating two different existing systems.


  • The implementation of common system standards helps to centrally manage security identification to ensure consistency, enhance security, and use resources more efficiently.


  • The integration, expansion, or relocation of business premises often requires re-issuing a large number of cards, and it is easier and more feasible to use a single, centralized standard for coordination and management.



Nowadays, upgrading the smart access control system is not as difficult as imagined. In order to reduce the interference of updating the access control system on daily operations, it can be easily and economically realized by installing a new card reader and updating a new generation of smart cards. S4A can provide a professional and efficient upgrade and transformation implementation plan to escort the upgrade of the access control system.
