Abstract

A reliable electronic lock comprises means for reading a key card upon insertion and withdrawal. Sets of data read from the key card are compared to CRC data read from the key card to determine which set contains actual data and no false data erroneously read by the electronic lock. The CRC data is stored in scrambled form on the card to minimize the possibility of match to a set of actual and false data.
