The security of access codes, contactless RFID devices and remote controls
A control panel enables each user to be assigned with one 4, 6 or 8-digit code and up to two RFID tags
for system authorization. User authorization is required during each operation via keypad, voice menu,
a computer, web or mobile apps. Code length affects number of possible combinations and therefore
code security.
The number of code combinations depends on the configuration:
Ways to improve protection against guessing the valid code:
a Using a code with more digits (6 or 8-digit codes)
a More advanced types of authorization, such as “Card confirmation with a code“
or “Double authorization”.
