Access rights for offline locks are stored on card credentials. Locks that are compliant with the access control standard, OSS Standard Offline, can read the access rights on cards and interpret them in the same way. You can manage these locks by encoding the cards in Security Center.

About encoding cards for OSS Standard Offline
In the MIFARE DESFire configuration task in Config Tool, you can create configurations that comply with the OSS Standard Offline. These configurations use an application type and contain file types specific to the OSS Standard Offline. After creating this type of configuration for the first time, custom fields are automatically created in Config Tool. The custom fields ensure that the proper access rights can be encoded on cards and the correct entities can be linked to events.
You can encode cards with the OSS Standard Offline configuration using a smart card encoding station configured for OSS.
Access rights and blacklists on cards
Access rights are stored on the card and must periodically be renewed, based on a revalidation period. This revalidation period defines the period during which the card is valid. By default, the revalidation period is seven days, but can be configured. When a card is no longer valid, it cannot unlock any doors.
To renew the access rights on a card, you must present it to a reader that is configured to update the information on cards.
Event monitoring and reporting
When a card is presented to a door controlled by an offline lock, events from the lock are written onto the card. When the card is updated through a reader, the information is written to the Access Manager database. The event types and the number of events stored on the card are configured in the OSS Standard Offline configuration.
