Universal, vendor-neutral configuration tool securely distributes cryptographic keys, configuration data and firmware to LEGIC-powered edge devices via smartphone app. (English-only)

Zurich, Switzerland, Sept. 12, 2024 - Installing, maintaining and de-commissioning critical infrastructure such as electronic doors, secure containers and building facilities throughout their lifecycle can be cumbersome and complex, especially when they’re offline.

To simplify this process, LEGIC has launched the “LEGIC Utility App”, a convenient and universal tool which enables LEGIC Orbit to provide end-to-end security for the LEGIC Connect mobile credentialing service. It is compatible with any edge device that is based on LEGIC 6000-series Security Modules. Downloadable free-of-charge via the Google PlayStore and Apple Appstore, the app allows convenient and secure distribution of non-visible cryptographic keys, customer application-specific parameters, as well as firmware updates over NFC or Bluetooth®.

With the LEGIC Utility App, you can say goodbye to factory-programmed readers, proprietary reader-specific programming tools, and in-house app development and maintenance. Any service personnel can download the app onto their Apple or Android smartphone and register with the LEGIC Connect service. Administrators can then distribute their predefined configurations as encrypted package (Orbit Virtual Configuration Package or “VCP”) to mobile phones. Once the package is downloaded, LEGIC Utility App can be used to configure compatible readers over NFC or Bluetooth® Low Energy, even when both devices (smartphone and reader) are offline.
