French Innovations Access Control
Anssi has published a guide "recommandations sur la sécurisation des systèmes de contrôle d'accès physique et de vidéoprotection" which helps you in the choice of your access control :
The 7 Questions to ask yourself when create the specifications of your access control :
If you already have a system, the document will allow you to check the level of security of your access control.
When you want to set up your access control, it is necessary to ask yourself the 7 right questions about the expected features :
- Identification of sites to be protected/controlled;
- Identification of business values and support assets to be protected;
- Identification of areas;
- Level of security of physical access control equipment and facilities;
- Flow of movement of individuals;
- Identification of actors;
- Organizational Processes;
This will allow you to establish detailed specifications for the consultation of your future installation.
How to assess the security level of your access control?
In case you already have an existing system, you can refer to the Anssi that will allow you to determine the level of security and resistance levels to logical attacks of your system. You will find a list of recommendations that will allow you to determine the level of safety of it.
Below you will find a summary table of these different levels of security and logical attack according to the badges used.
The recommendations of Anssi are explained on any component or actor that intervenes on the access control system. From badge and reader to maintenance.
At the beginning of August, the French State published the interministerial base of free software, a set of open source tools recommended and recommended in the context of projects. ODALID is pleased to see that its favorite software is part of this list:
- Kicad free software for electronic
- MariaDB Base Transactional Cluster
- Openjdk Development Environment
- Docker Software Containers
- Nginx Web Server and Reverse Proxy
- Sonarqube Quality Indicator Dashboard
- Grafana Supervision Infrastructure and Components
- Debian Distribution GNU/LINUX
- KeePass Password Management
- Jitsi Meet Webconference
- ...
The use of open source components is an integral part of our corporate culture for a variety of reasons, including open code for future-proofing and scalable solutions.
Odalid equips service sector companies, factories, leisure and sports parks, etc. with highly secure access control systems. The supervision of these devices has many advantages, in particular the possibility of monitoring its equipment and preventing breakdowns.
Based on Zabbix open source technology, Odalid has developed a turnkey platform accessible via the cloud, interconnected allowing real-time monitoring of the activity of your various access points, guaranteeing high availability of equipment in order to implement place a predictive maintenance strategy.
For more than 10 years, ODALID has been putting its expertise and patented know-how on RFID and NFC technologies at the service of its customers. As a partner in your innovation, ODALID has implemented a proven highly secure access control solution. In the current context, security and flow management are becoming major challenges.
Limit the risk of intrusion, give access according to employee profiles, avoid loss of keys,... are all advantages of access control based on contactless technologies. |

How it works
![]() |
Each opening (door, opening gate) is equipped with an IP/POE reader connected to the striker opening and closing system. Employees are equipped with a card or any system embedding contactless technology (badge, bracelet,...) allowing them to unlock access without physical equipment and in a totally secure way. |
Certified solutions for security:
The cards are encrypted via a secure element and encoded according to the profile of the users and the access times that the administrator can define on a case-by-case basis. |

Un exemple de projet : ArcelorMittal
![]() |
ArcelorMittal, 1er groupe sidérurgique mondial produit chaque année près de 100 millions de tonnes d’acier. Dans ce cadre, l’enlèvement des marchandises est une problématique importante qui peut se faire par camion, rail ou bateau. Concernant ces flux logistiques, ArcelorMittal a fait le choix d’une solution ODALID. |
Pourquoi utiliser une architecture IP / Ethernet / POE pour son contrôle d'accès sécurisé ?
A venir
ODALID intègre les nouvelles normes de chiffrement permettant de lire les cartes hautement sécurisées (DESFire) ou bien les cartes de transport (Calypso).
