And what about codes?

• Are they always kept secret?

• Are they changed regularly?

• Is the coding secure enough?

• When codes are not needed, are they always being erased?

• Does every code really belong to only one user?

• Electronic protection keys (USB dongles)

Dispatching center

04/19/23 11Questor, © Kaba

ICS mode works...

• At the dispatching center, users and locks are registered

• Each lock is identified by its unique serial number

• Users are identified by a four digits ID

• User IDs can be created, changed and deleted at any time by the dispatching center

ICS mode

ICS mode

ICS mode works...

• At the lock, the user inserts its four digits ID

• The lock answers with a question which the user transmits to the dispatching center

• After the introduction of the question in the management software, a One Time Opening Combination (OTC) is issued by the software

• When the lock is closed again, the Questor generates a close seal which must be transmitted to the dispatching center
