Tapkey officially joined the Open Security Standards Association on August 3, 2020 and is dedicated to fostering the development and implementation of standardisation in safety technology.
“As a provider of an open Access as a Service platform, we are committed to establishing and implementing industry standards, because this makes it easier for hardware manufacturers and integrators to benefit from our technology. As a contributing member of the OSS Association, we will contribute our long-standing know-how to the OSS standardisation processes. In a rapidly developing technology environment, we strive to help, that new standards also meet the requirements of future solutions.”

Co-CEO and CTO of Tapkey
The primary goal is the promotion and development of global standards for security and access control systems. This includes protocols, components, and coding within the security market as well as the associated hardware and software.
In its first initiative, the OSS Association developed the OSS Standard Offline, which makes it much easier to integrate offline locks into access control systems. The standard is constantly being developed further and Tapkey is also working on it as a contributing member.
More than 50 international companies from the security and access market are currently part of the OSS organization. The OSS Association enables a permanent exchange between security consultants, specialists, and executives from the industry.
The market for mobile credentials is one of the fastest-growing, fuelling the demand for a universal standard. Hence, the OSS Association is working with its members on an OSS Mobile Access Standard. As a mobile credential provider, Tapkey is significantly involved in the design.
Withdrawing authorizations, especially in offline systems, can be challenging. But Tapkey’s advanced revocation technology provides a secure, automated authorization withdrawal mechanism that eliminates the need for manual list management by administrators, ultimately enhancing the security of the system.
A correctly set time on the locking device is critical for its safe operation. Tapkey detects deviations and synchronizes the time, if necessary—without user interaction. We see this functionality as a basic requirement for a simple and secure access control system.
The processing of complex locking plans is an integral part of our core features, such as recurring authorizations. Tapkey supports all main functions, such as the use of recurring schedules or the return of access events in the cloud.
Tapkey provides system integrators with a white label keyring app.
