- How do I evaluate the security of a battery-free NFC smart lock?
A.NFC Communication Security 1. Encryption protocol: Check the NFC communication encryption protocol adopted by the smart lock. Strong encryption algorithms such as Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) can guarantee the security of data in the transmission process and prevent the unlocking signal from being intercepted and cracked. For example, 128-bit or 256-bit AES encryption can effectively resist common hacker attacks. 2. Signal anti-interference: assess the anti-interference ability of smart locks in complex electromagnetic environments. A good battery-free NFC smart lock should be able to distinguish between legitimate NFC signals and external interference signals to avoid false triggering of the lock. It can be tested in an environment with other NFC devices or wireless signal sources to see if the lock will open abnormally. 3. Two-way authentication mechanism: Find out whether the smart lock adopts two-way authentication. This means that not only will the lock verify the legitimacy of the NFC device (e.g. mobile phone or card), but the NFC device will also verify the identity of the lock. This mechanism adds a layer of security to prevent illegal devices from simulating legitimate locks for signal theft. B. Physical security protection 1. Lock cylinder quality: Although battery-free NFC smart locks mainly rely on electronic technology to unlock the door, the lock cylinder is still an important line of physical defence. Check the material and structure of the lock cylinder, such as the use of grade B or C lock cylinder, these lock cylinders have a higher anti-picking performance. B grade lock cylinder usually has a double row of bullet or leaf structure, C grade lock cylinder is more complex, can effectively prevent violent opening. 2. shell solidity: check the material and manufacturing process of the lock shell. Sturdy metal shell (such as stainless steel or aluminium alloy) can resist the impact of external forces and damage. At the same time, the connecting parts of the shell should be tight and seamless to prevent attackers from accessing the internal circuitry by prying or disassembling the shell. 3. Tamper-evident alarm function: Smart locks with tamper-evident alarm function can send out an alarm when illegal tampering attempts are detected. The alarm can be a local audible or visual alarm, or a remote alarm message sent to the user's mobile phone or security monitoring centre to notify the user of possible security threats in a timely manner. C. Authentication and rights management 1. Multi-factor authentication: Evaluate whether the smart lock supports multi-factor authentication methods, such as NFC + password, NFC + fingerprint and other combinations. Multi-factor authentication can greatly improve the security of locking, even if the NFC device is lost or the information is leaked, no other authentication factors can open the lock. 2. Permission grading and management: For smart locks applied in home, office or commercial places, a perfect permission grading management system is crucial. Check whether it is easy to set different permissions for different users, such as administrator rights, ordinary user rights, temporary user rights. The permission management system should be able to accurately control the time, number and range of times each user can open the lock. 3. User identification accuracy: test the accuracy of the smart lock for user identification. For NFC cards, check whether it can effectively identify legal cards and reject illegal cards; for smart locks that support fingerprint recognition or facial recognition (if any), test the recognition rate and misidentification rate to ensure that only authorised users can unlock the lock smoothly. D. Data security and privacy protection 1. Local data storage security: Understand how to protect user data stored inside the smart lock (such as unlocking records, user permission information, etc.). The data should be stored in encrypted form to prevent user data leakage when the lock is physically destroyed or illegally accessed. At the same time, the storage medium should have a certain degree of resistance to damage, such as the use of flash memory chips and other reliable storage devices. 2. Cloud service security (if applicable): If the smart lock is connected to a cloud service for remote management or data backup, assess the security measures of the cloud service provider.

- Traditional Mechanical Locks VS Passive Locks: Traditional Locks Disadvantages Revealed
A. Security : 1. Keys are easy to be copied : the key of traditional mechanical locks is its only unlocking credentials, and if the key is lost or copied after it is obtained by lawless elements, it will pose a security risk. Passive locks use advanced password technology, encryption algorithms, and such as fingerprints, passwords, mobile phones, NFC and other ways to open the lock, and the password can be changed at any time, so security is higher. 2. Can not be real-time monitoring : traditional mechanical locks can not be unlocked real-time monitoring and recording of behaviour, only through physical means to determine whether someone breaks in, and can not detect abnormalities in a timely manner. Passive locks can achieve real-time monitoring through the relevant technology, view the unlocking records in the mobile phone APP, so that users can grasp the lock status at any time. 3. Relatively weak anti-picking ability : the traditional mechanical lock cylinder and lock body structure is relatively simple, in the face of violence and other acts of lock picking, limited resistance. Passive lock shell is usually made of high-strength alloy materials, with a strong resistance to pressure, the internal structure of the design is also more complex, increasing the difficulty of lock picking. B. Convenience : 1. A single way to open the lock : traditional mechanical locks can only be unlocked by the key, the user needs to carry the key with him, once he forgets to bring the key or the key is lost, it will bring great inconvenience. Passive locks support a variety of unlocking methods, such as fingerprint identification, password unlocking, swipe card, etc., the user does not need to carry a key, locking is more convenient. 2. Cumbersome key management : If more than one person needs to use the same lock, traditional mechanical locks need to copy multiple keys and distribute and manage them, making it easy to lose or confuse keys. Passive locks can be easily managed by authority, administrators can authenticate each user and set permissions, management is more efficient. C. In terms of maintenance costs : 1. easy to wear and tear failure : the traditional mechanical lock internal mechanical transmission device and lock cylinder and other components, after a long time of use is prone to wear and tear, rust and other problems, the need for regular maintenance and repair, such as adding lubricants, replacement of the lock cylinder, etc., the maintenance cost is high. Passive lock because there is no mechanical transmission device, not easy to damage, maintenance costs are relatively low. 2.

- How Battery-Free NFC Smart Locks Work?
The working principle of the battery-free NFC smart lock mainly involves two aspects: energy harvesting and communication interaction: A. Energy Harvesting : 1. NFC Field Energy Harvesting : When an NFC-enabled mobile phone or other NFC-enabled read/write device is close to the battery-free NFC smart lock, it will generate an NFC RF field around it. The NFC chip or related components inside the smart lock can sense this RF field and harvest energy from it. This energy harvesting method makes use of the principle of electromagnetic induction, similar to the primary coil (NFC reading and writing device) in a transformer generates a changing magnetic field, which induces an electric potential in the secondary coil (the NFC receiving part of the smart lock), thus providing the smart lock with the power needed for its work. 2. Energy Storage and Conversion : The collected energy will be stored in the capacitors or other energy storage elements inside the smart lock. These energy storage elements can store the instantly collected energy and convert and condition it to meet the working voltage and current requirements of the internal circuits and chips of the smart lock. For example, unstable AC power is converted to stable DC power for use by the control circuits and actuators of the smart lock. B. Communication interaction : 1. Authentication Information Transmission : After the mobile phone or NFC read/write device establishes an NFC connection with the smart lock, it will transmit data containing user authentication information to the smart lock. This information can be the digital key pre-stored in the mobile phone, encrypted user information and so on. After receiving this information, the smart lock will decrypt and verify it to determine whether the user has the authority to unlock the door2. 2. Transmission and execution of control instructions : If the user's identity is verified, the mobile phone or NFC read/write device will send control instructions to the smart lock to open or close the lock. After receiving these instructions, the control circuit inside the smart lock will drive the actuator (e.g., motor, electromagnetic lock, etc.) to carry out the corresponding operation to achieve the opening or closing of the lock. In short, the battery-free NFC smart lock realises the unlocking operation without external power supply by cleverly using the energy collection and communication function of NFC technology, which is convenient for users and avoids the maintenance and replacement problems brought by batteries.
- Industrial passive lock: subvert the tradition, leading the new trend of industrial security
In the industrial sector, the performance of locks is critical. It is not only related to the safety of equipment and assets, but also affects productivity and operating costs. In recent years, industrial passive locks have gradually come into their own, showing many advantages over traditional active locks. Firstly, let's compare the performance differences between industrial passive locks and active locks. Active locks usually require a power supply, which means there is a risk of problems such as battery depletion and wiring failure. Industrial passive locks, on the other hand, do not require a power supply and rely entirely on the mechanical structure and intelligent chip to achieve the function of opening and closing the lock. This feature makes the passive lock has the advantage of maintenance-free, greatly reducing the use of cost and maintenance workload. In terms of power consumption, active locks require continuous power supply, its power consumption is relatively high. Passive locks in the work of almost no energy consumption, only in the moment of unlocking will produce a small energy consumption. This is undoubtedly a huge advantage for some industrial scenarios with strict power consumption requirements. For example, in some remote areas of industrial facilities, the use of passive locks can be avoided due to power supply problems. High reliability is another outstanding advantage of industrial passive locks. The electronic components of active locks are susceptible to environmental factors such as high temperature, low temperature, humidity, sand and dust. The mechanical structure and intelligent chip of passive locks are relatively stable and can maintain good performance in various harsh environments. In high-temperature environment, the battery of active lock may overheat, leakage and other problems, while the passive lock is not affected; in low-temperature environment, the performance of the electronic components of active lock may decline, while the passive lock can still work normally. In humid and dusty environments, active locks are susceptible to corrosion and damage, while passive locks offer better protection. Next, we explore the stability and adaptability of industrial passive locks in harsh environments. Industrial passive locks work reliably in both hot desert regions and cold polar environments. Its robust mechanical structure can withstand the erosion of wind, sand, rain and dust, and the intelligent chip can maintain stable performance under extreme temperatures. For example, in some chemical enterprises, there are a lot of corrosive gases and liquids in the production environment, active locks are easily damaged, while passive locks can be used for a long time in this harsh environment. In addition, industrial passive locks also have higher security. Since no power supply is required, passive locks are not affected by electromagnetic interference and hacker attacks. At the same time, its unique mechanical structure and encryption technology also makes it much more difficult to crack. In some of the extremely high security requirements of the industrial sector, such as military, energy, etc., the security advantages of passive locks are more obvious. In short, the industrial passive lock shows great potential in the industrial field with its advantages of maintenance-free, low power consumption and high reliability. In harsh environments, its stability and adaptability is a reliable guarantee for industrial production. With the continuous progress of technology, I believe that industrial passive lock will be widely used in more fields.
