EviDNS How it works

Find and Connect Your NFC Devices on Your Local Network

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.

What is EviDNS and what does it do?

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.

How does EviDNS use the DNS-SD protocol?

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.

How does EviDNS work with EviCore NFC HSM Browser Extension?

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].

How to use EviDNS to find and connect your NFC devices?

To use EviDNS to find and connect your NFC devices, you need to make sure that the following conditions are met:

  • Your devices must be connected on the same local network (for example, via Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable).
  • Your devices must be compatible with NFC (Near Field Communication) and have this feature enabled.
  • Your devices must have the browser extension that uses the EviCore NFC HSM Browser Extension technology installed and activated.

If these conditions are met, you can proceed as follows:

  1. Open the browser extension that uses the EviCore NFC HSM Browser Extension technology on the device you want to use as sender or receiver of data.
  2. On the main screen of the browser extension, you will see the list of devices detected by EviDNS on your local network. Each device is identified by its host name, its IP address and its port.
  3. Select the device you want to contact by clicking on it. You will then see a window with the options available for communicating with this device.
  4. Choose the option that matches your need (for example, send or receive data) and follow the instructions on the screen to perform the operation.

What are the benefits of using EviDNS?

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.
