Idesco was the world's first to encrypt card-to-reader-to-host transactions with AESCO, designed to lift your system to the highest-level security.
Even if you use modern, encrypted readers and transponders, your credential data in Wiegand-cabled systems will inevitably be decrypted before it is passed up to your host controller(s). Idesco's AESCO solution will readily deploy in your existing Wiegand system, to eliminate this vulnerability. The Result? Your credentials will remain masked and protected all the way to the controller.
Best of all, AESCO's latest generation AES-encrypted readers cost-effectively and readily embed into old MIFARE® systems. Indeed, AESCO even provides different deployment modes: piggy-back the AESCO module onto your controller or update them with Idesco’s RS-485 AES protocol.
Alternative ways to deploy AESCO
Deploy Access 8 CD 2.0 AES readers with the AESCO-module inside your current controller. AESCO-module provides seamless decryption, ensuring your system receives and recognizes data in your legacy format. This provides the fastest pathway to fully encrypting and protecting your system with a Wiegand connection.
Deploy Access 8 CD 20 AES readers with Idesco’s RS485 AES-software protocol installed in your own controller. Requires additional software customising by either Idesco or integrator/installer to ensure protocol parity yet also provides powerfully competitive advantages for installers and system integrators.
