To obtain secure communication between communication hubs and locks/sensors an Encryption key is used. This Encryption Key should be handled with the same care as the Master Key in a traditional Master Key System. A person with access to the Encryption key can gain unauthorized access to any Aperio door in the system. Once loaded into the Programming Application, it will be stored encrypted in a local database and should be erased from the hard drive. A copy should be stored safely.
Proper handling of encryption keys is essential to lock/sensor security!
It is absolutely necessary to use the customer encryption key by setting all communication hubs and locks/sensors in Customer mode to ensure a secure and encrypted communication with the lock/sensor.
