perrugi:brain.
The encrypted lock bus.

An encryption board placed between perrugi:palm and the electronic lock. Every unlock command is signed and encrypted end-to-end — an attacker cannot sniff the code, replay a frame, or modify the signal. Extended with a CAN bus and industrial Ethernet for large facility deployments: hotels, office buildings, factories.

Four layers of cryptographic protection.

No compromises on the bus. Communication between perrugi:palm and the electronic lock is the most fragile part of the system — this is where the unlock authority lives. perrugi:brain closes that channel with concrete architecture: it physically separates the terminal from the lock contacts, and every command is authenticated with AES-256-GCM — key in hardware, replay protection, audit.

AES-256-GCM encryption

Every frame heading toward the lock is encrypted with AES-256 in GCM mode and stamped with an authentication tag. Without a valid tag the lock rejects the command — even if the frame looks correct on the wire.

Key in secured memory

Cryptographic keys are held in secured memory. They cannot be read via the debug interface, disassembly or a side-channel attack.

Replay protection

Every command uses a 96-bit nonce; a replayed message is rejected and logged.

Tamper-evident log

Every operation — unlock, rejected attempt, integrity failure — is written to a signed log. The log cannot be erased selectively; any tampering is immediately visible in the audit.

CAN and Ethernet — one module.

perrugi:brain plugs into places a typical lock cannot reach: large facility deployments, hotels, office buildings, industrial plants. Two buses in one module — pick the one that matches your wiring plan.

CAN 2.0B up to 1 Mb/s

CAN bus with priority arbitration. Dozens of locks on a single bus, deterministic response time, immunity to noise in industrial environments.

Ethernet with PoE

RJ-45 with PoE-in. Power and data over a single cable — convenient for large hotel and office deployments.

Many locks on one bus

One module handles multiple locks on a shared bus — tidying the wiring in large facility installations.

Architecture of the signed frame.

perrugi:palm does not talk to the lock directly. perrugi:brain sits between them — a gateway that translates user intent into a signed, encrypted command. The lock opens only when the frame is fresh, signed, and correctly encrypted.

For access control system integrators.

perrugi:brain is a module that adds a cryptographic layer to an existing access control system — an OEM component to build into the installation. The board sits "in between" and no one but you needs to know it is there.

Retrofit

Standard industrial and hotel lock connectors. Mounting scope depends on the existing installation.

Custom cryptography

We share key-management and pairing details with partners in the integration documentation. The rules are agreed together at the integration stage.

Engineering support

An integration engineer assigned to your project. Mounting diagrams, protocol documentation, evaluation samples.

Enterprise programme

Partner pricing for integrators and dedicated extended-warranty terms. Support terms are set in the contract.

API and documentation

Integration interfaces in preparation. Developer documentation on request.

Compliance and audit

Certification, warranty terms and compliance documentation: available on request.
