What is the Freevolt S-KEY fingerprint activated access control card?

By embedding high security, fingerprint reader technology within the credential card itself, Freevolt S-KEY allows existing access reader systems to be 'upgraded' to multi-factor, biometric authentication without altering the reader hardware or accesscontrol infrastructure.

Traditional access cards present several security vulnerabilities. They can easily be lost, stolen, cloned or borrowed granting unauthorised access potentially compromising sensitive areas or information. Even two factor authentication like PIN numbers can easily be copied or shared, compromising its effectiveness.

These limitations highlight the need for more robust authentication methods. S-KEY's fingerprint verification eliminates these vulnerabilities, offering enhanced security.

Why use an S-KEY card?

Recent studies have revealed a reality: 4-digit PINs, the most common two-factor authentication for access control, are simply not secure enough. In fact, biometric access, like that offered by S-Key, has been shown to be five times more secure, significantly raising your organisation's security.

The benefit of S-KEY lies in its ability to achieve this enhanced security without requiring costly infrastructure upgrades. It integrates seamlessly with existing access control systems, eliminating the need for disruptive and expensive overhauls.
