Akidaia, a company specializing in physical security, presented its innovative offline access control solution at CES 2025. The company addresses long-standing challenges in the access control industry, which traditionally relies on network-connected systems. These conventional systems require extensive infrastructure, making them costly, complex, and vulnerable to remote cyberattacks. Akidaia’s new approach eliminates these issues with a compact, network-independent device, redefining access control for isolated or high-security areas. Learn more at https://akidaia.com.
At the core of Akidaia’s system is a mini box that does not store user data or maintain pre-registered codes. Instead, it decentralizes access control by utilizing cryptographic keys delivered directly to users’ mobile devices. These keys, securely stored on the user’s phone, determine access rights. The box validates the authenticity of these keys without requiring network connectivity. This architecture ensures that installations can be completed within minutes and remain immune to remote hacking attempts, even in locations without infrastructure, such as remote industrial sites.
The system operates using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for offline validation. Users interact with the device through the Akidaia mobile application, which displays access options corresponding to the secured entry points. When a user approaches a mini box, they simply tap the designated access button in the app to unlock doors or barriers connected to electrified opening systems. Each interaction generates a unique validation code, preventing replay attacks or spoofing attempts.
Akidaia’s innovation is not just about convenience; it enhances security by leveraging the inherent protections of smartphones, such as PIN codes, biometric authentication, and face recognition. Unlike traditional keys or badges, which can be easily stolen or misused, the system ensures that only authorized users can gain access. If a phone is lost, its security features prevent unauthorized use, and access rights can be easily revoked or transferred.
The solution has already attracted a range of high-profile clients, including the European Space Agency and major industrial companies like Bouygues Construction and Veolia. Akidaia’s technology is versatile, finding applications in diverse sectors such as universities, office buildings, and industrial facilities. The mini box is particularly suited for securing barriers, gates, and doors in environments where traditional systems would be impractical or too expensive to implement.
In addition to its enhanced security, Akidaia’s system significantly reduces installation costs and time by up to 70%. This makes it an attractive option for businesses and organizations seeking efficient and scalable access control solutions. The offline protocol ensures that the system remains operational and secure, even in areas without reliable connectivity, setting it apart from competing products.
The offline protocol is central to Akidaia’s innovation, offering a unique approach to identification and validation. Even if a hacker were to intercept the BLE signal, the system’s dynamic validation ensures that the captured data would be useless for subsequent access attempts. Each validation is uniquely generated for each interaction, creating a robust defense against potential security breaches.
With this groundbreaking technology, Akidaia is redefining how access control systems function, emphasizing simplicity, security, and flexibility. By eliminating reliance on network connections and centralized databases, the company provides a forward-thinking solution for modern access control challenges. Whether in urban offices or remote industrial sites, Akidaia’s mini box delivers reliable, secure, and cost-effective access control
