Build your security architecture on a foundation that offers control, prevents vendor lock-in, and ensures flexibility for tomorrow's security needs.
Whether card, fob, or mobile badge, it may seem like a simple choice—but it sets the direction for your entire access control ecosystem. Proprietary credentials can lock you into limited options, higher costs, and complex upgrades. Interoperable credentials give you the freedom to scale, adapt, and integrate on your terms.
Our smart credentials are built on NXP MIFARE DESFire technology and aligned with the LEAF standard, offering high-assurance security and true interoperability. Backed by a community of industry leaders, the LEAF standard drives a movement toward open, interoperable access control—giving organizations more freedom and flexibility. With support for varying card formats, you can unify your access experience while future-proofing your infrastructure. Because the right credential today should work not just for now—but for whatever comes next.
A cutting-edge physical credential setting a new standard for security and convenience all while providing off-the-shelf compatibility with LEAF Community partner devices. LEAF Universal combines a digital credential foot print (manifest)with a physical credential for easy enrollment and management.
The true convergence of physical and logical access. With the increased threats, physically and digitally, a unified approach to identity and access management is required for the highest levels of security and efficiency. Leveraging standards based protocols - FIDO2 and LEAF Universal - you have the best of both worlds.
Empowers end-users with enhanced security and flexibility by allowing them to utilize their own unique cryptographic keys for access control. You can either manage these custom keys yourself or have a trusted third party handle them.
A global movement uniting technology providers, integrators, consultants, and enterprises around a shared mission: to create a world where credentials and access control devices work seamlessly together. LEAF Universal credentials are designed to work out of the box with any LEAF-compatible device, delivering truly unlimited interoperability across systems and vendors. By fostering collaboration and establishing a universal standard, the LEAF Community empowers organizations to achieve greater security, flexibility, and efficiency in access control.
The LEAF standard eliminates reliance on proprietary systems and ensures compatibility across hardware, software, and digital access platforms.
Built on NXP MIFARE DESFire technology, LEAF Universal credentials offer top-tier security. They support SOC2 compliance, cybersecurity audits, and remove risks tied to outdated proximity card systems.
