ekeyCode

ekeyCode is a code-based credential in the ekey access-control ecosystem. It provides a numeric or alphanumeric code that can be used to unlock compatible panels, doors, or readers, either as an alternative to biometric verification or as a second factor in the authentication process.

Usage and management: Administrators can generate codes for users or guests, define validity windows, and revoke codes as needed. Codes may be issued as single-use or time-limited, and management can take place through cloud-based tools or on-device administration. When a valid code is entered at a compatible reader, the system authenticates the user and logs the access event for auditing purposes.

Security and privacy: ekeyCode relies on encryption for data in transit and at rest. Code generation is designed to be cryptographically secure, and codes can be linked to user identities in the ekey platform. Best practices include using sufficiently long and unpredictable codes, avoiding code sharing, rotating codes regularly, and promptly revoking compromised credentials. Access logs and event histories help monitor usage and detect anomalies.

Compatibility and ecosystem: ekeyCode is intended to operate with ekey’s line of smart locks and access-readers that support code-based entry. It can integrate with the ekey cloud service for remote management and with other home automation platforms via APIs. Availability and feature sets may vary by model and region.
