Smart card security is sophisticated and complex. It's also evolving. The technical and mathematical depth of these technologies can be daunting, but we can still explore the basic concepts with simple examples. Even the most experienced cryptographic experts know Alice and Bob, and still use them to explain and develop solutions to today's smart card challenges.
This video explains what the term "26-bit format" means, and describes the purpose of Facility Codes and credential formats. After you watch the video, check out the Credential Order Guide from Schlage to practice using what you've learned!
What is a prox card? What is a smart card? How do they work? What do they do? What's the difference between them? Why is it important? If you've ever asked these questions, this video explains why prox and smart credentials are compared so often, and will help you understand terms like encryption, authentication, mutual authentication, interoperability, 125 KHz, 13.56 MHz, and more.
