What is KRYPTO access control?

KRYPTO is the ultra-high security ecosystem behind ATRIUM access control. KRYPTO brings end-to-end AES encryption to ATRIUM, ensuring that data communication is safe and protected. For high security environments, encryption of the data transferred from credential to reader, reader to controller, and controller to server ensures ultimate protection. It’s never been easier to bring high security to homes, businesses, and public buildings.

The KRYPTO system is operational right out of the box – no tedious programming, no big learning curve, and no configuration card required. Unique authentication keys are automatically created to ensure that only authorised individuals can gain access. Security managers and premises officers can have confidence in a system that protects people, assets, and data consistently, accurately, and reliably.

What is AES encryption?

A diagram showing the encryption process of the ATRIUM access control solution. From the ATRIUM secure server to the A22K controller, to the K2 reader, and the METALD fob credential, each data transfer step is protected by AES encryption or SSL/TLS encryption.

AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard. It is a type of cypher that protects the transfer of data through the internet. A cypher protects data by transforming the message in order to conceal its meaning.

Since being adopted by the United States government as its preferred method of encryption, AES has become a worldwide standard and one of the most common encryption protocols.

There are three possible key lengths in AES encryption: 128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit. the higher the bit-rate, the more possibilities of key combinations there are, and the higher the level of security. AES256 is virtually impenetrable using brute force methods, making it one of the most popular and trusted encryption solutions globally.
