Encrypted Anti-Clone Access Control Card Readers

13.56 MHz readers that accept only anti-copy cards issued under the reader's own key, so a card carrying a copied UID is rejected. Keyless or touch-keypad models in 86–93 mm housings send Wiegand 26/34/66 to your existing controller.

Buyer's notes

How to choose encrypted anti-clone readers

Most 13.56 MHz readers send the card's UID, and a UID can be copied onto a writable blank with inexpensive tools. The readers in this subcategory check encrypted card data before they output a number. A card that only copies the UID is not accepted.

How the card system works

  • Matched set: readers and cards are issued under the same key set. Order them together and plan future card batches against the same keys.
  • Standalone issuing program: it prepares the cards. The controller still receives an ordinary Wiegand 26, 34 or 66-bit number, so the access software doesn't change.
  • Validity limits: cards can carry a validity period and a use-count limit for tenants, contractors and visitors.
  • On-site setup: a configuration card sets the key, output format, Wiegand mode and read mode.
  • Housings: keyless and touch-keypad versions in 86 mm, 89.5 mm and 93 mm sizes. The 89.5 mm models are rated IP67, with read range up to 8 cm depending on the model.

Limits to plan for

  • Protected link: the protection covers the card-to-reader link only. The Wiegand line to the controller is unencrypted, so keep the cable inside the wall on the secure side.
  • Closed card scheme: existing cards cannot be enrolled as encrypted credentials.
  • Project specs: if your specification calls for MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV3 with AES-128 keys you manage yourself, send the application details. We will confirm a suitable reader before quoting. MIFARE Classic vs DESFire explains the difference.
  • Supply details: we confirm the card chip, card supply and issuing-software language for your region with every quote.

These readers are common where copied fobs are a problem, such as apartment and rental buildings.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use my existing MIFARE cards with an encrypted reader?

Not as encrypted credentials. The anti-copy check depends on cards issued under the reader's key set, so plan to issue new matching cards rather than enrolling existing UIDs.

Does my access control software need to change?

No. Cards are prepared with a standalone issuing program, and the controller receives an ordinary Wiegand 26, 34 or 66-bit number that it enrolls like any other card.

Is MIFARE Classic secure enough for access control?

Not against a determined attacker. Its Crypto-1 cipher was publicly broken more than a decade ago, and UID-only reading is weaker still. Encrypted card-set readers are a practical upgrade from UID-only readers. For new high-security systems, specify AES-based credentials such as MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV3 and confirm reader support with us.

Can encrypted cards expire automatically?

Yes. The card system supports a validity period and a use-count limit, which suits short-term tenants, contractors, visitors and visit-pack memberships.
