Elatec has released its latest software development toolkit, TWN4 DevPack 5.07 to deliver faster performance, stronger security and greater flexibility for configuring and managing RFID readers, enabling flexible and future-proof access solutions.

DevPack 5.07 expands the company’s support for modern mobile ecosystems, giving developers more ways to deliver seamless, secure, and flexible authentication experiences. Built-in integration for Orange PackID, Transact and AccessGrid eliminates extra setup steps, simplifying deployment of mobile ID solutions for campuses, workplaces and customer loyalty programs.

New Bluetooth capabilities enable developers to create fully customized mobile ID experiences and integrate Elatec readers effortlessly into existing apps and ecosystems.

Elatec’s Rasche Comments

According to Tobias Rasche, Global Head of Product Management of Elatec GmbH, the latest version takes another big step forward by combining deeper diagnostics, broader mobile credential support and open-standard interoperability, all in one powerful package.

“With every DevPack release, our goal is to make life easier for developers, system integrators and end users,” said Rasche. “With this evolution, our DevPack is now more than a development toolkit—it’s a comprehensive framework for building secure, flexible, and future-ready authentication solutions.”

Smarter Tools for Development

DevPack 5.07 gives developers and integrators faster insight into reader performance, greater control over configuration and dramatically shorter update cycles. The result: quicker rollouts, easier troubleshooting and lower maintenance costs across even the most complex deployments.

Key advancements include:

• Enhanced Tracer Diagnostics: Deeper transponder analysis and broader technology support—including HID DESFire EV3 and SEOS—enable faster, more accurate troubleshooting and performance validation.
• Compact OSDP configuration updates: The new configuration update cuts time for updates over OSDP by a factor of 10 or greater, minimizes bandwidth requirements and reduces downtime.
• Wiegand configuration via AppBlaster: Expanded options for Secustos and TWN4 Palon readers simplify migration from legacy Wiegand to secure OSDP systems.

“The new DevPack gives our partners the freedom to innovate within a secure, open and future-ready framework,” said Gerhard Burits, CEO of Elatec GmbH. “It’s a perfect example of our philosophy: simplify what’s complex, protect what matters and prepare for what’s next.”

Future-Proof Mobile

The release also introduces support for PKOC (Public Key Open Credential), an open, vendor-neutral standard that aligns perfectly with ELATEC’s agnostic reader philosophy. PKOC gives customers maximum freedom of choice and stronger protection through asymmetric cryptography, creating a more resilient foundation for future-ready access systems.

Additional enhancements include a new API for MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV3 cards, giving developers greater flexibility in advanced security and feature integration. The PIN-after-card option enables two-factor authentication (2FA) with a well-defined authentication process in physical access (PAC) environments. It is designed for use with wall readers featuring keypads, such as the Secustos. Together, these updates simplify mobile credential deployment while raising the bar for security and interoperability across diverse applications.
