ESAuth (Abbreviation of Extensible Services Authentification) is a open NFC data access and communications system developed jointly by NETRODA TECHNOLOGIES and INRITA.
The System includes hardware, software and the associated documentation to read, write and control common IEC 14445 (13.56 kHz) and 125 kHz compatible transponders.
Overview
ESAuth describes the method in which data and keys are used together to store, retrieve and encrypt information on data block based transponder systems, how to store and retrieve data and transaction payload in wireless microprocessor systems and how to interprete those.
Compatibility
ESAuth is neither bound to tag vendors, nor restricts software applications making use of it. The open philosphy allows to integrate large-scaled systems and combine various systems on a single transponder system. The ESAuth system has the power to expand existing transponder infrastructure with additional features. ESAuth is the default transponder control interface and comes preconfigured ready-to-use with most ES/S-Based ecosystems.
Capabilities
ESAuth can be used to authorize Persons, animals, objects or else in a technologic enviroment, for access control, routing, finance, facturing, electronic signature and other use cases.
In comparison to most other NFC Ready-to-oder devices used in enterprise situations, ESAuth can run a custom firmware enabling maximum flexibility and vendor-independed scenarios, for example to retrofit or add functionality on existing systems that cannot be upgraded.
Emulation Modes
Specific firmwares can be load to certain ESAuth devices to emulate capabilities and/or use ESAuth hardware with existing software.
| Name | Interface | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| PC/SC | USB | The PC/SC Firmware is used by applications to communicate with microprocessor cards, that are normally connected wiredly |
| ECA-ESS | USB | The ECA-ESS Firmware is the predecessor of ESAuth and is supported by outdated ES/S Applications |
| ETNet-ESS | Ethernet | Used only for ES/S-A access control applications |
| OAC-ESS | None Required | Used only for offline ES/S-A access control applications for low security environments |
Devices
The ESAuth devices are build for different purposes, with different specifications and applicability
| Form Factor | Applicability | Interfaces | Protection Class | Display | LED Indicator |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Table-Top | Used for service applications TMI | USB, Ethernet RJ45 | IPX0 | No | Yes |
| Recessed Mount | Used for in-wall, in-frame or gantry access control | Ethernet RJ45 | IPX0 - IP44 | Yes (Optional) | Yes |
| Surface Mount | Used for above-wall and access control (industrial and outdoor) | Ethernet RJ45, RS-232, RS-485, LCN | up to IP65 | Yes (Optional) | Yes |
| Invisible Mount | Used for below-wall and seamless design applications | Ethernet RJ45 | Depends on Structure mounted below | No | Yes (Externally) |
Hardware
Certain devices can be equipped with add-on modules (i2C/SPI) for relays, buzzers, audio/speech output and more.
