Our digital lives increasingly require higher data security standards, both privately and professionally. Given the rapid development of AI technologies and quantum computing, appropriate risk management is essential for companies. In particular, access controls and user authentication solutions need to be upgraded with advanced cryptography techniques against this backdrop. This is where ELATEC's latest development package, TWN4DevPack4.64, comes in, taking advantage of elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC).
What is Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)?
Elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) is a public-key method based on the calculation of elliptic curves. These problems are considerably more challenging to solve than traditional cryptography keys based on factoring large numbers. This advantage allows ECC to deliver higher levels of security with smaller encryption keys compared to older technologies such as RSA. Because shorter keys require less memory and processing power, ECC is very suitable for devices with limited computing resources.
TWN4DevPack4.64: ECC Guarantees Security for the Future
As of today, ECC is one of the most powerful methods for ensuring the highest level of security for authentication solutions and access controls.
The TWN4DevPack4.64 delivers decisive advantages over previous software versions through the inclusion of ECC technology. By incorporating ELATEC's advanced API into existing systems, companies can guarantee the highest security standards while benefiting from resource-saving functionality and seamless integration into a wide range of applications.

ELATEC customers can now download the new DevPack and use it with all TWN4 readers. ELATEC readers that are already installed can be easily updated for ECC support using the new API—either via a contactless configuration card or convenient remote update. New customers can also use ECC with any TWN4 line reader.
ELATEC thus always keeps its finger on the pulse to develop innovative encryption options and support customers and partners in the best possible way. The TWN4DevPack4.64 equips companies for the constantly evolving security landscape and enables the protection of sensitive data with efficient resource management.
