Cidron VG2New

Quick look

Cidron VG2 series is a reader operating on both 125KHz and13.56MHz which makes it ideal to use where several card populations with different RFID-technologies and/or frequencies should be used at the same Time. The Cidron VG2 allows for controlled upgrading of legacy RFID-technologies utilizing 125KHz to a secure RFID technology such as MIFARE® DESFire® EV1/EV2/EV3 which operates on 13.56MHz and allows for AES128 encrypted communication between credential and reader. Cidron VG2 supports reading of 13.56MHz technologies, for instance, MIFARE® Classic, MIFARE®Plus sector, MIFARE® DESFire® EV1/EV2/EV3 application and Mifare® Desfire® DUOX (on request) combined with 125KHz technologies such as Electromarine(EM4200) and Proximity compatible cards.

Cidron VG2 series reader compliants to encrypted NFC technologies for mobile credential access control by smartphone to instead of RFID smart cards.

Cidron VG2 series supports two types of security encryption technologies, Embedded Secure Element Hardware and Secure Access Module (SAM), which can be used independently or in combination to enhance security, making them suitable for the most advanced security-critical applications.

- It is designed with Embeded Secure Element Hardware (EAL6+) to support multiple cryptography:

    · ECC: NIST curves up to P-521, Brainpool r1 curve up to 512,

    · RSA® up to 2048,

    · AES key up to 256,

    · Hashing support up to SHA-256, HMAC up to SHA-512,

    · TLS v1.2 PRF and HKDF up to SHA-512

- It also features SAM socket compatible with MIFARE SAM AV1/AV2/AV3 which gives the possibility to further increase the security of storing encryption keys (Evaluation Assurance Level, EAL5+) and also allows for diversification of encryption keys.

The Cidron family is available both with - and without keypad. The version with keypad has backlit keys that is configurable to always be on, off or in auto mode which means that when a card is presented to the reader or a key is pressed the keypad will light up. The version without keypad has a symbol at the front of the reader which will be lit when a card is presented to a reader configured to auto mode.

The substantial LED frame provides visual indications to the user, the LED frame can indicate green, red or yellow. There is also an embedded buzzer that can be used for audible indications. The LED frame, backlight and buzzer can all be configured to indicate different operations and events using sound or light to communicate with the user. The indications can also be activated by external controls by using general purpose input/output' s (GPIO' s), for instance, an individual reader can be configured with a green or red indicator LED frame to connect the fire alarm system via the GPIO port. 

The Cidron family also includes a range of built-in accessories that facilitates installation, assist in complying with legislation and protects the reader from external factors.The Cidron family reader is designed for surface mounting but can also be fitted to standard European installation boxes.

With the array of communication protocols available in the Cidron reader it makes it extremely versatile and can be installed in most physical access control systems without any additional plug-in modules. The OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol) is a bidirectional communication protocol developed by SIA (Security Industry Association) which provides continuous monitoring of the reader but if applied it also enables AES encrypted communication between the reader and the controller. This so called "Secure Channel" is available in Cidron readers.
