Synchronic, a SPAC Alliance member, has obtained its third ANSSI CSPN certification since 2018 for its XSecur’-Evo physical access control system, version 2.1. Incorporating the SSCP protocol, this solution demonstrates our ecosystem’s commitment to trusted access control backed by proven security.
XSecur’-Evo: an access control solution with end-to-end security
XSecur’-Evo combines centralized access management with local access decisions made by the controllers. The fully web-based Xt Manager software enables operators to manage cardholders’ access rights and distribute them to the equipment responsible for controlling access.
The evaluated scope includes several complementary components:
- The management applications, including Xt Manager and ServeurUG_TLS, for access administration and event logging.
- The XSecur’-Evo controllers, which grant or deny access based on the permissions stored in their local database.
- The UTP-SEC-EVO door modules with SAM-SE, which interface with readers and door hardware and perform cryptographic operations to authenticate credentials.
- The readers and keypad readers (supplied by STid, also a SPAC Alliance member), enabling credential-based authentication, optionally supplemented by a PIN.
The certification covers the access control configuration defined in the security target below.
SSCP: secure communications and transparent reader operation
The SSCP protocol secures communications between SEALDES-4 readers and MCS4 modules. The readers operate in transparent mode: DESFire EV3 credentials are authenticated using the SAM installed in the ULS4, keeping credential-reading keys away from the access point and enabling encrypted communication between the credential and the SAM.
This latest certification highlights SSCP’s contribution to high-security access control architectures.
Congratulations to the OMNITECH Security teams and everyone involved in this achievement!
