Hi Ryan,
great intro and thanks for taking the time to come and visit us here.
As discussed we are interested in many things security-related, but our specific little niche is what can we use our implants with, One of the biggest holes in the market for us, are implant compatible Padlocks.
The LynkD ( QuickLock ) padlock being a notable exception… However, as good as it is, as it uses ISO15693 MOST of our implants are either in the Low Frequency or High Frequency ISO14443A.
I am lucky enough to have an ISO15693 implant, but many don’t.
I hope they are still available, I was hoping to pick up a QuickLock Padlock for review and my own purposes.
I will be sure to contact you when I have done so
Here is an example of the products we have tried and tested, and you will see that lack of padlock (Quality) in that space
Though we are a small group, we are a loyal group, if you can provide a reliable and compatible lock base, you will also gain a loyal customer base and we would be willing to put them through their paces.
We even have a review category Reviews where we test and recommend (or not ) products that individuals have found and tested.
I think a great step would be putting you in touch with our leader Amal Graafstra (@amal ) who is the owner / Director of Dangerous Things and Vivokey, he has many years in this field and a vast amount of knowledge in the RFID field.
He has at his disposal ALL the implants in one place, So if you were to send a sample of each of your products to him, he could test ( Or arrange testing by deseminating to the community ) I’m sure you will get some valuable feedback.
Amal will no doubt see this post, but he is currently flat out busy at the moment, moving Office and everything that goes with that…
Just some Crib Notes that Im sure you are already aware of:
Lock = Security, There are different levels, and the lock is only as strong as it’s weakest link
- Protect solenoids from Magnet Bypass
- Protect Shackles from Shim attacks ( have tight Tolerances, Ball bearings )
- Use secure Tech like DESFire, or less secure if required, But never use proprietary tech, what you gain in sales of fobs / cards etc you will loose in customers - we want to use our own cards, fobs, implants not what we are told we have to use.
- For a padlock, as it is battery powered, either Low Power duty cycle with occasional HP pulse may be good, or a “Tap to wake” function
Any hints on what products we should expect to see?
Members here are always looking for Door locks, some of whom Rent and are after a universal lock, that they can install and remove with no damage or modifications to the door.
There are also a number of Gun Nuts, so gunsafes / locks etc would be of interest also
Gym Locker padlocks, secure enough to protect dirty underwear
Cupboard/ Cabinet / Draw locks
Anyway, Thanks again for saying Hi and I’m sure at some stage, we will be getting our hands on your new products and we will let you know how it goes.
