2N PICard Commander

Manage secure cards using our user-friendly 2N PICard Commander application. This software is designed for both facility managers and system integrators and allows them to create unique cryptographic key sets for each site. These keysets are then used to encrypt access credentials on MIFARE® DESFire® EV2 and EV3 cards via a 2N USB reader.

Features & benefits


Multi-level security

Industry standards such as symmetric (AES-128) and asymmetric (ECDSA) encryption, master encryption keys under the customer’s full control, the entire project protected by an additional password, and more.

Capability without complexity

The software is designed so that the user doesn’t need to be an RFID card expert to create and manage secure credentials.

Flexibility

2N PICard Commander is suitable for both facility managers managing single buildings and system integrators managing multiple sites. Integrators can also offer secure card management as a service.

Build on a proven MIFARE® DESFire® standard

Minimizes the possibility of access card copying by using the most widespread, secure standards that have the perfect balance of speed, performance, and cost-efficiency.

Adapt to customer’s needs

Cards can be set purely for access control usage ensuring maximum security or to support their use in other applications such as printers. Already have cards? 2N PICard credentials can be written on them too!
