EviDNS how it works: EviDNS is a free technology developed by Freemindtronic that allows you to detect the NFC-compatible devices on your local network and to know their IP address and port. This way, you can transfer data between your devices in a few clicks. This is the main keyphrase of this page: EviDNS how it works. In this page, we will show you how EviDNS works and how to use it to find and connect your NFC devices. We will also answer some frequently asked questions about EviDNS.
EviDNS is a technology based on the Zeroconf protocol, which means Zero-configuration networking. This protocol allows the automatic creation of an IP network without configuration or dedicated servers. It assigns local IP addresses (link-local) and allows the discovery of services available on the network.
EviDNS uses the DNS-SD (DNS-Service Discovery) protocol, which relies on the use of mDNS (multicast DNS). This protocol resolves host names to IP addresses within small networks that do not include a local name server. Thus, EviDNS allows you to detect the devices compatible with NFC on your local network and to know their IP address and port.
EviDNS works with the browser extensions that use the EviCore NFC HSM Browser Extension technology . This technology enables you to use the NFC HSM from Freemindtronic via the EviCore NFC HSM technology on any type of computer that accepts installing an extension on a web browser.
This is another keyphrase of this page: EviCore NFC HSM Browser Extension. This technology allows you to use your NFC HSM as a contactless passwordless authentication device for your web applications. You can learn more about this technology by visiting this link: [EviCore NFC HSM Browser Extension].
To use EviDNS to find and connect your NFC devices, you need to make sure that the following conditions are met:
If these conditions are met, you can proceed as follows:
EviDNS ZeroConf offers you a better user experience for your NFC applications. For example, you can transfer data from an NFC HSM to or from a computer via NFC Android phones. You don’t need to scan a QR code or enter the IP address and port of the recipient manually. Just install EviDNS ZeroConf, which launches automatically. Then install the plugin for navigator web with EviCore NFC HSM Browser Extension, which lets you pair multiple NFC Android phones with an NFC HSM. You can also select a favorite phone from the extension, which will identify itself via EviDNS ZeroConf. If you only have one phone, you don’t need to select a favorite one. EviDNS ZeroConf is transparent for the user. It optimizes the detection of phones in the network to enable the connection of the NFC Android phone paired with the extension. The NFC HSM is also paired with the application developed by Freemindtronic installed on the NFC Android phone.
Moreover, EviDNS ZeroConf is compatible with Linux, IoS and Microsoft systems. You can use the technology on different types of devices. EviDNS ZeroConf is also easy to install and use, as we will show you on this page.
Download the software click here
After accepting the license agreement, the “ready to install” window appears on your screen.
Click on the “Install” button.
At the end of the installation a window “End of EviDNS installation” will appear.
Click on the “Add firewall exception (recommended)” button.
This function allows communication on UDP port 5353.
This port is usually opened to detect devices in a network.
If the latter is closed. EviDNS will not work.
In fact, all software and/or applications developed by Freemindtronic working only with EviDNS will not work.
After clicking on the “Add firewall exception” button we recommend that you do so. Now click on the “Finish” button.
It is a software that can be easily uninstalled. Just use your operating system’s software manager and select “EviDNS”. Then the software will automatically uninstall from your computer.

EviDNS Zeroconf uses an encryption system based on the EviCore NFC HSM and EviCore NFC HSM Browser Extension technology. This technology allows you to encrypt and decrypt sensitive data with a secret key for single use. This key is secured from a NFC HSM (Hardware Security Module). This system ensures the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of the data exchanged between the devices on the local network.
To use EviDNS Zeroconf, you need to have some requirements. You need to have a NFC HSM (Near Field Communication) module paired with a NFC smartphone or a NFC tablet with Android. On this device, you need to install an application developed by Freemindtronic. This application embeds technologies such as EviPass, EviVault, EviSeed, EviCypher, EviOTP, EviCloud. You also need to download and install the EviDNS Zeroconf software on your device.
EviDNS Zeroconf is a technology that allows you to easily configure and manage your local network using NFC HSM modules. You can use EviDNS Zeroconf for various purposes, such as:
EviDNS Zeroconf can be used in various domains and situations, such as home automation, health, education, industry, businesses and public bodies etc. It is compatible with Android devices and web browsers with installed an extension from Freemindtronic. It uses an innovative encryption system based on the EviCore NFC HSM and EviCore NFC HSM Browser Extension technology.
EviDNS Zeroconf has many use cases. It can be used to automatically configure and manage easily the use of NFC HSM on local network. It applies to various application domains that offer the technologies of Freemindtronic
For example, it allows very strong multifactor authentication and wireless access control via a NFC HSM and/or HSM OpenPGP. It can be used in home automation, health, education, industry, businesses and public bodies etc.
You can use EviDNS Zeroconf to connect the NFC HSM and authenticate yourself on all types of local network. You can also authenticate yourself via a web browser with installed an extension from Freemindtronic. This gives you access to all connected systems such as home automation, servers, email clients, etc. You can use a web browser to authenticate and/or identify yourself online and/or offline.
EviDNS Zeconf is optimized to facilitate non-intrusive communications with the NFC HSM technologies from Freemindtronic. These technologies store and manage your passwords, your private keys, your access codes, etc. They do it in a highly secure way offline, externalized from computer systems and phone. They use an innovative encrypted sharing system in RSA 4096.
EviDNS Zeroconf, a technology that allows NFC HSM modules to be used automatically on a local network without the need for a DNS and DHCP server. EviDNS Zeroconf can be used for countless use cases to facilitate the discovery of IoT devices on a local network and at the same time facilitate end-to-end encryption from an NFC HSM or HSM OpenPG with technologies such as EviCore NFC HSM or EviCore HSM OpenPGP using EviCore. EviDNS Zeroconf works with EviCore NFC HSM Browser Extension technology compatible with web browsers based on Chormium and Firefox. This greatly simplifies the secure use and management of your IoT devices with a web browser.
