One Credential, Universal Identification

A secure, open and interoperable data structure for DESFire® EV2/EV3

All Access Credentials

In a perfect world, your smart access card should seamlessly and securely read on your door access readers, your locks, and your logical access readers. LEAF is providing the tools to make such concepts a reality.

Your user's credentials are their keys to everything they need and want to do with their identities in one package. 

 

Security through standards

The commercial security industry, as a whole, from technology providers to end-users, is demanding more product interoperability, security, and functionality. LEAF was created by industry members to simplify the integration of legacy, current, and future technologies.

LEAF is combining the best security protocols and ISO standards with the most advanced technologies to provide a complete specification for interoperable solutions. 

LEAF pledges to continue its quest to ensure compatibility in security.

SYMMETRIC CRYPTOGRAPHIC KEYS

LEAF CC

LEAF Cc stands for LEAF Custom Cryptographic Keys. End-Users who desire to use their own keys and or have them managed by a 3rd party can purchase LEAF Cc, Custom Cryptographic Keys. LEAF Cc is recommended for facilities requiring high security and is optimal for campuses desiring maximum flexibility and interoperability

The enhanced security of LEAF Cc cards means LEAF Cc cards can only be read by authorized devices. Readers must be loaded explicitly with one of the read keys of the Cc keyset as authorized by the end-user

End-users are in full control of their LEAF Cc keyset and work directly with LEAF vendors to issue and maintain them.
