Xtec Inc

As the private and public sectors expand their networks and continue adding physical and logical security components to their business models, their choices become as unlimited as their risks. The search for practical and secure implementations in physical and logical access management, credential management, information dissemination and commerce is the mission that drives XTec. For more than a decade XTec has been a world leader in security and authentication systems and in the development of the standards used by the Federal Government to establish error-free and secure authentication. XTec has led the way, through its innovative and patented technologies and research, with easy to use and highly secure solutions for government and businesses. Since 1992, XTec, Incorporated has created some of the most secure devices for access control and credential management. Using its patented Mediametric technology, as well as extensive involvement in the creation of authentication and security standards, XTec's technological advancements ensure security, privacy, and backward compatibility. The ability to implement today while planning for tomorrow's technology will ensure the success of the 21st century technological revolution. Remote devices increasingly managing user interaction and the Internet as the primary channel of information sharing and distribution, and commerce. Any place on the planet is tenths of a second away-truly, a new global frontier. The new standard must meet the needs of the existing systems, while also providing a migration path for systems being considered for the future: they must be interoperable with existing and future schemes; compatible with magnetic cards, chip cards, contactless tokens and other systems; they must be highly secure and sensitive to privacy issues; they must be low cost and scalable across a wide range of transaction types; they must function in a network or in a standalone environment; and they must be independent of operating systems, hardware, or cryptographic system. These are the minimum requirements of the ideal systems solution: globally accepted, secure, and interoperable. Those solutions are XTec's state-of-the-art Access Control and Credential Management systems utilizing the patented Mediametric technology. Mediametric technology uses the precise measurement of the physical properties of objects that are used to record information. It determines the authenticity of data by measuring the anomalies introduced by the inherent imperfections in the storage media and creating a unique Mediametric fingerprint that cannot be replicated. It provides a way to shield access, while ensuring that any duplication can be detected. The technology can be used to secure any form of customer to vendor interaction and can operate with a wide range of storage systems - from magnetic stripe cards, memory cards and contactless tokens, to the most sophisticated smart card. It allows optimum flexibility and guarantees interoperability in the design and implementation of systems that include secure logical and physical access, ID programs, transportation passes, stored value, debit or credit cards, remote access, data storage, loyalty programs, as well as secure platforms for all aspects of electronic commerce. XTec Access Control solutions allow the integration of multiple card technologies into any system-whether it's a legacy system or the newest system on the market. Utilizing XTec's highly innovative, cryptographically-enabled, IP-addressable, and secure XNode technology, XTec Access Control solutions can incorporate multiple technology tokens-all within a single operating environment that has the same level of security from the highest to the lowest common denominator. It can interface with practically any protocol, database format, or control panel type on the market. Our solution can be integrated seamlessly into your system whether you choose LAN, WAN, Wi-Fi, or wireless paging.
